Topic > Romeo and Juliet is the greatest love story ever - 939

Although Romeo and Juliet has a clear inability to capture mature love, it does a great job of showing teenage love, the kind of love that we see? when a boy in the throes of hormones shoots himself and/or his girlfriend, even though I hate associating the word love with that disgusting demonstration and it leaves a bad taste in my throat to do so. Before all my dear readers who cry out for this centuries-old comedy threaten me and send letters telling me to die, hear me out. It is my opinion that this “love story” they share becomes quite evident when you stop for even a moment and think about their actions. I hope you all agree that the couple is quite impulsive, they both jump into things right away. Again, you are not allowed to jump down my throat yet, dear reader. You can yell at me your reasoning behind their erratic behavior in a moment, but I'll hold the floor for now. The first thing to look at is Romeo's behavior at the beginning of the play, when he was in love with dear Rosaline, which became a big problem at the beginning of the play, where he has a long speech after a long time. spiel about how they just don't understand. To cheer him up, Benvolio convinces him to go to the Capulets' party, especially since he knew what was really going on. This is obviously where he sees Juliet. Keep in mind that they don't have many real, meaningful conversations. What they say basically amounts to, “Well, you sure are attractive. Let me write poems about you and your pants. "It was inappropriate, lots of apologies. As said before, he falls in love" with her based on the fact that she's quite pretty. This is also impulsive, he does not hesitate to forget the girl he was so madly in love with before. This I...... middle of paper ......itch while making decisions and therefore make worse ones, although I am not sure of the veracity of this. The point is that no, this is not love, but like many current teenagers they made a mistake. But they are also like the unfortunate stories we can still hear today, of a boy who shoots his girlfriend because she didn't want to go to prom. A boy who committed suicide because of a rejection. They are the extreme and an avoidable extreme if something had been done, such as the friar who does not encourage their behavior by indulging in it. On their cold shoulders, but also on the friars, lies the death of six people, some of whom are more innocent than the others. This isn't a love story for me, it's a tragedy. One to see as a warning, one we should probably hear more often so we don't have to hear another story of a teenager killing the one he claimed to love so much..
