Romeo and Juliet “Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is.” (Gary Zukau). American spiritual teacher Gary Zukau wrote these words describing how love heals. This quote directly relates to Romeo, a young montague, and Juliet, daughter of Capulet. In Romeo and Juliet written by Shakspeare, a writer in the Elizabethan era, The two lovers share a forbidden love, and their families are at odds for years. Their hatred for each other runs deep.

For example, when Romeo talks to Juliet while she is on her balcony, they are both in absolute lust over each other. Juliet sighs, “My bounty is as boundless as the sea / Mty love as deep.” (Shakespeare II.ii.140-141).

Others may argue that teenage love is not real because they are still so young and dont yet know how to handle feelings in a mature way. While Romeo is out talking to Friar Laurence, a church priest. He mentions his love for juliet. Frier Laurence claims, “young men's love then lies not truly in their hearts/ but in their eyes.'' (II.iii.67-68). While Romeo and Juilets love was intense and passionate, some might argue that it wasn't real in the sense that it was based on idealistic fantasies rather than reality. They fell in love at first sight and were immediately swept up in a whirlwind romance that was fueled by their youth and was also heavily influenced by external factors such as their family feud and their
