What Are Romeo And Juliet's Emotional Maturity
Romeo and Juliet were not in love, they were just two teenagers in search of the light that just outstretched their arms. Within reach, but not close enough until Romeo and Juliet locked eyes.The one missing component in both of their lives was not love but bliss. This was just a regular hormonal teenage relationship.
