Audrey Ashley Mrs. Holt Bane March 30th, 2023 The Love and Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet Was Romeo and Juliet's first meeting love at first sight or a tragedy? Many people believe that it was love at first sight from what Romeo says about her when he first lays eyes on her. For Example, in Act 1 Scene 5, Line 50 he says ¨Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight, For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.¨ So thinking about this now it was not love at first sight. Rosaline was the first girl Romeo truly loved and once he started to fall out of love with her because Rosaline didn't return his affection and decided to shun men altogether he wanted to move on. So, at the Capulet feast when Romeo saw Juliet, he thought …show more content…

My grave is like to be my wedding bed.¨ Juliet is referring to Romeo in these lines because she had just met him and thought she was automatically in love but did not honestly know he was. Once the Nurse came back she told Juliet in Act 1 Scene 5, Line 135 ¨His name is Romeo, and a Montague, The only son of your great enemy.¨ Juliet is not a fan of this because she hates how the one person she ¨loves¨ is the son of her greatest enemy and suddenly starts to change her mind on how she thinks of him. If it really was love at first sight Juliet would not have cared who he was the son of she would have just loved him for who he truly …show more content…

Adding on to that Romeo couldn't have just flipped a switch and turned his love off for Rosaline that fast it takes time to get over someone.
