Romeo And Juliet Love Quotes

Romeo and Juliet is a play written by Shakespeare that was about two young people falling into an unbreakable love. Were Romeo and Juliet really in love with each other? Romeo and Juliet could not have been in love, they were both young, barely knew each other, and they were willing to die because they thought that was the only way they could be together.
Juliet was only 14 years old when she decided to marry Romeo. Her father Capulet said “My child is yet a stranger in the world. She hath not seen the change of fourteen years. Let two more summers wither in their pride Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.”( 1.2.8-11) Capulet said this to Paris when he asked him for Juliet’s hand in marriage. This shows her father did not think that Juliet

Juliet said to her nurse, “My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me, that I must love a loathed enemy.” (1.5.136-139). The quote is from the Capulets party from the night they met and Juliet was already saying she loved him. Romeo said “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!

When Romeo was banished away they both thought their lives were over, the Friar had a plan and couldn’t get word to Romeo about it. Juliet appears dead, but was not, when Romeo got to her he did not wait to ask someone what had happened, he was quick to kill himself with the poison he had bought. Then, when Juliet woke up only a few minutes later, she saw that Romeo was lying dead next to her. Next, she continued to stab and kill herself with a dagger Romeo had. This proves Romeo and Juliet were both willing to die at any cost, if it meant they could not be together, showing that their love was not love at all.
