The forcefulness of love

Romeo and Juliet is the most famous love story in the english literary tradition.
love isnaturally the play's dominant and most important theme. the play focuses on romantic love, specifically
the intense passion that springs up at first sight between Romeo and Juliet. In Romeo and Juliet, love is a
violent, ecstatic, overpowering force that supersedes all other values, loyalties, and emotions. In the course
of the play, the young lovers are driven to defy their entire social world: families("Deny thy father and refuse thy
name." Juliet asks, "Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, / And I'll no longer be a Capulet"); friends(Romeo
abandons Mercutio and Benvolio after the feast in order to go to Juliet's garden); and ruler(Romeo returns to verona for
Juliet's sake after being exiled by the prince on pain should always remember that Shakespeare is uninterested in portraying
a prettied-up, dainty version of the emotion that captures individuals and catapults them against their world, and,
at times, against themselves.

the powerful nature of love can be seen in the way it is described, or, more accurately, the way deions of it so consistently
fail to capture its entirety. at times love is described in the terms of religion, as in the forteen lines when Romeo
and Juliet first meet. At other it is described as a sort of magic: "Alike bewitched by the charm of looks" (2.Prologue.6)
Juliet, perhaps, most perfectly describes her love for Romeo by refusing to describe it: "But my true love is grown to such
excess/ I cannot sum up some of half my wealth" (3.1.33-34). Love, in other words, resists any single metaphor
because it is too powerful to be so easily contained or understood.

Romeo an Juliet does not make a specific moral statement about the relationships between love and society, religion,
and family; rather, it portrays the chaos and passion of being in love, combining images of love, violence, death, religion,
and family in an impresionistic rush leading to the play's tragic conclusion
