Romeo & Juliet In the novel Romeo and Juliet, Romeo shows two different kinds of love depending on before and after he meets Juliet.
Before Romeo falls in love with Juliet he lives a life of sadness.
Even though he has many friends he still finds a way of putting his friends behind him and living a miserable life.He is very miserable because he has fallen in love with a woman by the name of Rosaline, but she can not love him back because she did’nt even know about it.Romeo did not have the courage to tell her.His love is not true love, he is just in love with the the fact of being in love. He likes the feeling of being in love and will try to be together with anyone as long as he has the love feeling and enjoys the time being,not necesserily the girl he is being with.He is feeling so full of sorrow that he can’t take it so he locks himself in his room in darkness yet he doesn’t even know if she loves him or not,He is afraid to ask her.
His love for Rosaline is great but yet she can not say the same and for that he will continue to be miserable.He has lots of support from his friends and lots of advice given to him but he doesn’t take the time to think of the many opportunities he has to chose from, such as forget about Rosaline and find someone else, or tell Rosaline how he feels and see what happens.
After he meets Juliet his love for Rosaline disappears and a new and different love appears.
As he see her for the first time he falls madly in love.
He speaks to her and they both say they feel the same about each other.Even though they are forbidded to get married or even get together with each other,they do.He shows a tremendous excitement knowing that he is loving and getting love back.He gets in trouble because of the killing of Tybalt and he is banned from Verona and he has to leave.When Romeo must leave Juliet and move away neither Romeo nor Juliet can put up with the pain.They fight with all the power they have to try to stay together forever,till it comes to the point that the only solution to be together is by death.
They tried everything else but they didn’t succeed.
He just can’t bear to live a life without her.
He thinks of his only choices and knows that either he forgets about her and leave town or he stay with her and is sent to death penalty.Even though he knows he has family and friends he chooses to die with her, to be together.
So we see a big change In love here.At first he is in love with the idea of being in love and is too shy or ashamed to tell the woman how he feels, but then when he met Juliet and fell in love with her the love was mutual, now he does anything to be together with her.
At first he is sad and every minute of his life is sad until he loves Juliet and he is then happy.
Romeo’s love life to him was a lot more clear and happier even though, it meant having to die together.
