Love In Romen and Juliet by Shakespeare
Love has existed in many forms throughout time. There is no better example than in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. In this tale, when love is most apparent, the most crucial events occur to develop this "tragedy." The evident forms of love are love for friends, "love" for enemies, and love between lovers.First, love for friends was, and is, a necessity for the characters. Romeo had been in love with a girl who didn't feel love the same way that he did. Consequently, Romeo was distraught. He thought no woman could be as fare as Rosaline. Romeo's friend, Benvolio, thought differently. Benvolio encouraged Romeo to go to the Capulet's feast and accurately predicted that Romeo would find other girls more attractive than Rosaline. This was highlighted when Benvolio said "Compare her face with one that I show, / And I will make thee think thy swan a crow." ( I. ii. 86-87). Later, when violence was prevalent, Benvolio watched out for his friends and relatives, encouraging peace. He spoke against fighting when he said "I pray thee, good Mercutio, lets retire. / The day is hot, the Capulets abroad, / And, if we meet, we shall not 'scape a brawl,"(III. I. 1-3). The Nurse is Juliet's best friend, but calling her "mom" would
Tybalt and Mercutio were always ready for a fight. This murder caused Romeo to be banished from Verona and separated from his love Juliet. In Act 1, scene 2, the fact that Romeo and his friends were uninvited, but still attended the Capulet's party, added to Tybalt's anger. The hatred between the houses of Capulet and Montague was known throughout the town of Verona. They met by chance, looking into each others eyes and instantly being attracted. Juliet wished Romeo wouldn't go even though it would be risking his life to be seen in the daylight . The feuding families would have condemned the relationship, something the two lovers could not accept. Ironically, at the party that Lord Capulet held so that Juliet could meet her projected husband, Paris, she met her future husband, Romeo. Tybalt was the personification of hatred between the Capulet and Montague families. Juliet saw her only option was to fake her death and wait for Romeo to return to her.
