I need help for my english class!!!

Answer 1

Romeo and Juliet was the quintessential romantic love story upon which all other love stories were based. They gave up their families, their friends and their lives to be together. I would say it is more a story about how we should love rather than how we should lust! OK, they were in love, and their families already hated each other. Then their families got in a huge fight and Romeo killed Juliet's cousin. Then Juliet's parents made her marry another guy, and on the evening before, she planned to fake her own death and be buried in the family tomb so Romeo could come and get her? Excuse me, but does this sound like just a one nighter?

Answer 2

Romeo and Juliet was based on true love. Juliet and Romeo snuck out 2 c each other despite the fact they weren't alowwed 2. Also at the end Juliet comitted suicied just 4 Romeo. That is True Love!!!

Answer 3

Hate to complicate it, but this is one that can be argued both ways (that's the beauty of Shakespeare's writing)

In favor of love... The big one: In the introduction, there is, I believe, a line about 'star-crossed lovers'. This implies fate. This theme appears throughout the text, and couild be said to imply that they were destined for each other, for better, or (as it turns out) for worse. But you can argue that it is their tragedy the are destined toward. :(

The cynics view of Romeo and Juliet:
Romeo has just been dumped by a girl and is in a wierd funk about it. Juliet has just become a woman, and is in the middle of her first hormone rush when she meets Romeo, probably the first guy who has flirted with her. In other words: LUST. Love is something deeper.

But, love could come later. Or it could have been love at first sight. it goes both ways. Pick one, find some quotes that could maybe back it up, and yoU can BS yoiur way to a good grade.

Answer 4

They both loved and lusted each other. That is what made there relationship so strong so quick. In reality romeo didn't start truly loving Juliet until right before he left from there wedding night. But in the end there love was true.

Answer 5

"In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love you want the other person."
--Margaret Anderson
hope this might help u some way
Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.

Answer 6

It could be said that their relationship was based on lust, since they fell in love upon simply seeing one another. However, Shakespeare uses many lines to hint that there is much more to it. The dialogue during their first meeting/conversation is an example of this. Read it and think about it for a minute.

Answer 7

Your answer should be based on a close reading of the text, which i do not have in front of me. What does Shakespeare say to suggest one or the other?

Answer 8
