Different Types Of Love In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet
The Different Types of Love Present In Romeo and Juliet' By William Shakespeare
In this assignment I will be looking at the different types of love present in Romeo and Juliet'. This is arguable one of Shakespeare's most famous plays famous for the two devoted lovers, whose relationship was doomed from the start. But this is not the only type of love that is found in the play as there are strong bonds between parents/carers and children, friendship and infatuation which sets the scene at the start of the play.
The play opens with the obsessive infatuation that Romeo feels for Rosaline. This is the first type of love that I will investigate.
Lord Montague had become increasingly worried about his son, Romeo, when he started showing …show more content…
They both quickly confess their love for each other and decide instantly that they want to get married. They can't bear to be apart from each other.
"Parting is such sweet sorrow."
Later we notice Romeo is willing to put up with Tybalt's insults villain'; he doesn't want to encourage any aggravation with Tybalt
Romeo: "And so good Capulet, which name I tender as dearly as my own." because Tybalt is now Romeo's cousin after marrying Juliet secretly that morning.
On the afternoon of Romeo and Juliet's marriage, Juliet is placed in a very awkward situation when she finds out Romeo had murdered Tybalt Juliet's cousin, in a fit of rage. The Nurse is disgusted with Romeo and begins saying bad things about him, but Juliet jumps in and defends her husband.
Juliet: "Blistered by thy tongue for such a wish, he was not born to shame."
Romeo has already shown how brave he can be for Juliet, now it's Juliet's turn to show her bravery in return.
She agrees to drink the poison that the priest gave her, it will send into a very near death sleep, so on the morning of her marriage to Paris she will not awake and her family will think she is dead. She is terrified of what the outcome of taking this poison will …show more content…
O true apothecary. Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die "
When Juliet awakes, she finds Romeo's body at her side; she shares the same feeling of not wanting to carry on without her lover. She realises that he had killed himself with poison; she kisses his lips hoping for some of the deadly poison to be left on his lips, sadly she realises that his lips where still warm he had only just died, she had not revived in time, if only she woken a few minutes before then they would of still had each other.
Juliet: "Thy lips are warm."
She finds that there is not enough poison on his lips so she takes her dagger and immediately stabs herself.
Juliet: "Oh, happy dagger" this transferred epithet tells us that she is glad to embrace death to be with Romeo.
In conclusion, I believe that the strongest love present in this play is the love that is shown between Romeo and Juliet. Even thought they had only known each other for just three days, in this short time they were prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice for each other
