Aspects of Love in Romeo And Juliet
even kill each other, for the sake of family pride. There isn't a lot of family love there is just family pride. Although the Montagues and Capulets hate each other, there is a sense of honor and respect between them. Lord Capulet can still sing Romeo's praises at the ball and Romeo says "Tybalt, the reason I have to love thee…".
Despite Romeo and Juliet’s incredibly hasty marriage, and seeming irresponsibility, I think Romeo and Juliet do have the real thing because they sound like they are totally in for each other. It was love at first sight for them and after that they had to be together all the time. If this were not true the events at the end would not have happened. The characters of Romeo and Juliet develop because of their love. Juliet becomes more practical and self-reliant. And Romeo's passion is seemingly so strong that he does not hesitate in choosing his fate. I think in a way they haven't grown up a lot at all, I think its just because they fell in love with each other that their attitudes to other things had changed. Some of the aspects of love we have looked at are more important than others. In my opinion family and marital love, and true love are the two most important ones.
