Can you. Imagine a love so all-consuming that you would die for it the way Romeo and Juliet did? Explain. Post your RESPONSE and then REPLY to two classmates.
I can't imagine Romeo & Juliet's love because they were so young and everything happened too fast. I can imagine an all consuming love when people have more time to fall and stay in love and have spent a lifetime together. I think Romeo & Juliet were infatuated because they knew each other for only a couple of days and they even got married and died for each other.
I agree with you since I also think that they fell in love at a very young age and very fast, maybe what they felt was not even love. INFATUATED is the accurate word to describe what they felt for each other.
That's true. Romeo and Juliet are too young to know what the love is. I think, in addition to the fact that the passion of Romeo toward Juliet is somewhat similar to the feeling toward Rosaline makes Romeo's love doubtfully.
Your definition of love is the emotion which only human can have, not instinct, I think. In the sense, I completely agree with you. They were too young to know each other.
Infatuation.. interesting. Actually, their love may have been just a temporary crush. Even when we talk about love, there are a lot types of it. The definition of love may be important here.
I can imagine the scene. Sometimes love gets so hot that we cannot control ourselves. However, I think dying for love cannot be the proof of a true love. In my opinion, true love is to pray the partner’s happiness, not to pray for just each other being together. If the partner is dead, there remain many things that the other can do for the dead partner. Before doing commit suicide, maybe the true lover do something for the partner by using the one’s whole life.
Your meaning of true love is very profound and I like that because it contrasts with the one proposed by Shakespeare. I agree with you when you say "not to pray for just each other" because happiness should also be a very important part of love and Romeo and Juliet seem to have none.
Haruka I think what you are saying is really true, nothing will have sense if you die for love, the other person will be alone and love will turn into sadness and tragedy.
I feel that imagining that kind of love is very difficult for me, maybe because I´ve never been in love or maybe because I consider that love is built and you can´t feel love for another person just by staring at them. On the other hand, I do think that Romeo and Juliet could have had that kind of love if they had decided to know each other before getting married and deciding to die for the other.
I completely agree with you. I have no experience of love, so I have to think about it from the experiences in some romantic books. It is hard to image that kind of situation. As your opinion, I also think that Romeo & Juliet's tragedy can be happened if there is a fate.
I can imagine the love of Romeo and Juliet. I think the strongest emotion which human being can have is love, especially for teenagers. Since human beings die soon, I think there is no difference between dying in 13 or 80. I think Romeo and Juliet were happy.
Yes, I can. Let's suppose that I meet a really wonderful girl. She is too fit to me. She and I are crazy about each other. And we know for sure that this relationship is the best thing ever on earth; However, the catastrophy really happen. I go mad, get outside, and decide to commit a suicide.... Love is unexpected, all truths could be overturned because of this. Falling in love at the first sight, dying for my beloved girl, I believe.
sure, love is unexpected and I think that just as you do. If you are really in love you will do anything for that person, so if in order to be okay with your beloved one, you have to do sacrifices you should do them, that's the real prove of love.
Well I can imagine a love such as the one Romeo and Juliet had. Just imagine for a second that you find the perfect girl, the one that with just being there makes you happy. That is real love, and I think love emotion is one of the strongest feelings humans have. So if you have to die in order to make things right with your loved one you should do it and die happy or proud for what you have done.
The last sentence is the most interesting point. But if someone really love their partner, the only thing they have to do is not to endow their whole life but to love her when in need. This is from the male perspective, but it is one of the answers to the question about the behavior to lovers.

DeleteKnowing each other is very important for love, I think. I think they should have known each other. If so, the result was different, I think.
