minds, a child at thirteen years of age is still only thirteen years of age. Many people can go through their entire lives without finding true love, but Juliet thinks she has found love at age thirteen, although she has had no experience with it in her short life, therefore, she may not know what love really is. Romeo on the other hand, has "loved" before; he has "loved" Rosaline (1.1, 168), only a few hours before he fell in "love" with Juliet.
             This shows that in the case of Romeo, love is a very fickle thing. In the beginning of the play we find Romeo in despair, he is walking the streets of Verona all by himself, avoiding all contact with his family and friends. Romeo is depressed because he is in "love" with Rosaline, who does not love him in return (1.1). When Romeo attends the feast in the house of Capulet, all emotions for Rosaline immediately disappear as he sets his eyes on his new "love", Juliet (1.5). If Romeo had seen a prettier girl he may have approached her, or if the relationship between Romeo and Juliet had been able to survive longer he may have fallen out of love with her as fast as he fell in love. The type of love Romeo has for Juliet may have merely been a "crush"
