Romeo and Juliet is
a play based on strong bonding love that the characters feel between each
other. Most people forget that the play only spans a few days. Their
relationship from start to their death wasn’t even a week long. This 'love' Shakespeare portrays between the
characters appears to be more like lust than love. Throughout the characters
are obsessed and irrational with each other. For example, in Act 1 scene 5 from
lines 90 to 107 Romeo and Juliet have only just met and they have fallen in
love, have kissed twice already and have planned to meet again in secret. All
in the space of say 5 minutes they met and then love each other, willing to die
for them. This is not really love, love is so much more, it’s the connection
and history you have with a person. Their quirks and personality which only you
can see a different side to. The way Shakespeare has written Romeo and Juliet's
love really is the picture of lust and the ignorance of teens when it comes to
love.
