Romeo And Juliet

Romeo and Juliet: Love or Infatuation. This may sound unorthodox, but in my opinion Romeo and Juliet were NOT in love, but instead were infatuated. It seemed that Romeo and Juliet were constantly looking for sex. People in love are patient, and usually good friends. Romeo hardly knew Juliet and they were married in a matter of days. They didn't even think about the consequences of there marriage. Romeo and Juliet didn't think about the …

…were married. when they first met they had to ask around and find out the others name. On the balcony Juliet barely knows his name and already she was talking about her “love” for Romeo. Romeo got away from his friends just to see Juliet again and he heard her talking about him. Therefore, from the scenes mentioned in this essay it's plain to see that Romeo and Juliet were infatuated instead of in love.
