The Consequences Of Love In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Romeo and Juliet had seemed to have a strong; undivined love, but it came to me that they were too young and immature to know what love truly was. As you read throughout the play is Romeo and Juliet went through a stage where it was “ star-crossed lovers, “ this term shows that this pair of lovers are meant to be together and it is written in the stars so it must happen, but do you ever question “ How can you fall so deeply in love over a course of a week?” My thoughts on that subject is you have to get to know that person and spend time with them to know if you are in love, because in Romeo and Juliet’s death was their only way of showing love for each other. I think their death was by their own willfulness because of the immaturity, lack of love, and the consequences.

Romeo calls “thou day in night,” Romeo associates Juliet with light from his first sight of her: “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!” This phrase means that even if the stars were taken away in the sky then Juliet’s eyes would still shine bright. Keep in mind Romeo has only known Juliet for a few hours in this scene. Juliet was only 13 years old and Romeo was 16 years old, the two did not realize that they have all their lives to find love and happiness. The love Romeo and Juliet had for each other seemed to be a fantasy, they wanted to get married, Juliet wanted to lose her virginity, and live happily ever after. All those goals were reached except the last one. Romeo and juliet passed away due to being unaware of the consequences that could happen. “My child is yet a stranger in the world. She hath not seen the change of fourteen years,” says Capulet. Juliet was thought to be too young to understand the meaning of love, I also agree with this theory because she so oblivious to who she loved and what she wanted to do with her
