1.I believe that Romeo and Juliet are purely confused. I think that they are fascinated with the idea of each other, and infatuated with the amount of attention they’re receiving. There is no doubt it is lust disguised as love. Romeo believed that he was in love with Juliet based upon her physical features, he was merely in love with the idea of her. He was in love with the idea that someone could possibly love him back. Within minutes of meeting they are already lusting after each other, therefore my conclusion is that they are not in love with each other yet. Romeo describes her physical features as reasons that he is in love with her, Juliet does the same. They do not describe personality or backgrounds as to why they are so very deeply …show more content…
I think you should know most things about someone before getting married, if not, it’s like marrying a total stranger. It is a matter of opinion how long you want to be in a relationship before stepping it up and getting married, however most people share around the same opinion. I don’t believe in a “one true love” either, most people fall in love with more than one person in their lifetime before sticking with a partner. I think everyone has a person, maybe more than one sometimes, it’s the one you choose to stay with that matters. Such as, Romeo and Juliet, they got married because they were “in love”, say Romeo died during their marriage, (and Juliet didn’t commit suicide) Juliet is only fourteen. My point continuing is that eventually she’s going to fall in love again. It’s inevitable due to her young age, she’s got her whole life ahead of her to love someone …show more content…
Friar Lawrence’s secrets harmed everyone in the story, it was a chain reaction. First Juliet, because she was being forced to marry Paris. Then Romeo, since he thought she was dead, (not to mention Lady Montague was already deceased due to Romeo’s situation) he committed suicide by poisoning himself. This lead to Juliet waking up from the Friar’s spell and stabbing herself also. Their families were left with the open secrets, dead children, and grief. I don’t think that all of the pain that could have easily been avoided is worth it. There is no such thing as a white lie, you may think ‘oh if I tell someone a lie to preserve their feelings’ that it’s okay, it’s not. Say you tell your girlfriend she looks fine in a dress she really doesn’t and she wears it in public, you are letting her humiliate herself more than you just letting her hear the truth from one person rather than a crowd. It’s all going to come back to bite you somehow. However, I may see how one or two lies skip the criteria. Such as you’re throwing your best friend a surprise party, you can’t just tell them if it is a surprise party. Though this could also result badly somehow, I understand where this could be considered a white lie. There are so many issues that can come from one simple lie. One lie leads to multiple. Relationships can end, lives can literally be ruined, and so much more can come from it. Not everyone is perfect, but

As Romeo leaves, I am once again isolated and drowned by emotion in the darkness. I feel delighted that I made double the profit today. The last time I made an income like this was a long time ago. I haven’t felt this rush of happiness since my mother passed. Although thinking about it again, deep down I feel unsettled and guilty. Moreover I am so ashamed of myself to value gold over one’s life. With this I am uncertain; will his choices be poor? What if he took the life of another? What if he killed…
