Love is a relative term. For one, it may resemble a passion distinct from another. However, regardless of its true definition, a rising demographic has argued of the plausibility behind love at first sight, a heavy reliance throughout Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Thus, it is worth noting that Romeo’s love for Juliet is in fact not true love, as he has forgotten of whom he once thought his only desire, wishes to be married a single day following his encounter, and remains far too young to understand what love truly is. To begin, Romeo and Juliet’s love for one another is not true love because it began not long following Romeo’s grief in regard of Rosaline.

Romeo describes his love to Rosaline to be infinite and impossible to quench, but surprisingly enough, Romeo only talks about Rosaline’s physical beauty. Later on, Romeo meets Juliet. As soon as he sees her, Romeo forgets about Rosaline.
Love can cause illusions and false realities that enhance the idea of perfection that does not really exist.
