Love and belonging needs are often overlooked, but nevertheless, important. It is necessary that people feel loved, wanted, and needed. Often times, people may think they are in love with each other when they are in love with love itself. Their needs are not met, so they create the idea of love to convince themselves their needs are met. This concept is present in one of the most famous pieces of literature, namely Romeo and Juliet.
This love feel I, that feel no love in this.” (1.1.174 - 176) Romeo is saying that love is everything except what it is, and that he feels so much love yet just as much unhappiness because his love is not reciprocated. Romeo is extremely sad because Rosaline does not love him, even though he barely knows her. When Romeo enters the Capulet’s party searching for Rosaline, he is still
Romeo 's “love” for Juliet and is not love. Romeo only marries Juliet to get over Rosaline. In fact, the only reason he goes to the party where he meets Juliet is because he thinks that Rosaline might be there.

Love in Romeo and Juliet William Shakespeare’s iconic play, Romeo and Juliet , was published in 1597 and considered one the most substantial works of English literature. The play is about two star-crossed lovers in Verona who cannot escape from their unfortunate fate. Romeo and Juliet’s passionate love for each other dominates the play which makes it a romantic story. However, their love cannot be enough for them to be together. Romeo being a Montague and Juliet being a Capulet is the greatest obstacle for them.
In the play, Romeo believes that he is in true love, first with Rosaline and then he completely falls in love with Juliet. Unlike Rosaline, Juliet loved Romeo back; however, their families hated one another, indicating that they were unlikely to accept their relationship. Love was the cause that drove many of their thoughtless actions, which resulted in six deaths and many other troubles. When someone experiences love they become oblivious of their actions and the effect it has on their surrounding world.
Act 4 scene 5 gears the audience up for the catastrophe of the death of Romeo and Juliet. Juliet has just taken the vial of Friar Laurence’s potion and is in an almost dead state. The grief demonstrated by her family is intensified with her father’s personification of death. Capulet describes, “Death lies on her like an untimely frost / Upon the sweetest flower of the field” (4.5.28-29). Shakespeare describes Death like a human or personifies Death to dramatize the moment.
In the last line, Romeo expresses that, because his love for Rosaline is not mutual, the love he is feeling is very painful, rough and confusing. Therefore, Romeo expresses his feelings of love as a feeling of torment, because of Rosaline’s rejection. In other words, Romeo is emotionally heartbroken,
This is a reason because Romeo just got over Rosaline, when he sees Juliet he is somewhat using her as a rebound. “Out of her favor, where I am in love.” (act 1 scene 1 line 163) In this scene, Romeo is going on and on about how he loves Rosaline but she doesn’t love him back. Later on, he sees Juliet at the Capulet party and falls ‘in love’ with her.
During the majority of the play, it is palpable that Romeo is a man that loves very easily and frequently. In the first act he is hopelessly in love with a woman named Rosaline who has sworn him off in an effort to stay chaste. He then becomes depressed and only thinks about her in his endeavors afterwards. He talks of her with incredible passion and infatuation by saying, For beauty, starved with her severity, Cuts beauty off from all posterity.
In the play of Romeo & Juliet, William Shakespeare tells the story of two young, inexperienced teens who demonstrate their mistaken idea of infatuation for true love. Throughout the storyline, Romeo is represented as a fickle character who has a lack of emotional intelligence and never truly falls for either Rosaline or Juliet. After Romeo was turned down by Rosaline, Romeo says “..that you hit you miss: she’ll not be hit/ With Cupid’s arrow; she hath Dian’s wit” (1.1.216-217). Romeo’s unrequited love with Rosaline leaves him in desperation for returned love that he makes in his mind to be true. Still hung up on Rosaline, Romeo, after seeing Rosaline’s name on the party’s guest list, decides to “go along, no such sight to be shown,/ But to

Romeo and Juliet constantly make decisions without thinking of future consequences and other complications. When Romeo declares his sudden love for
“It seems to me, that love could be labeled poison and we’d drink it anyway”, says Atticus. This quote means that love can be dangerous, but we, as humans, are willing to take the risk in order to find happiness. This quote relates to Romeo and Juliet because Romeo and Juliet knew that there would be so many risks falling in love with each other, but they were willing to take those risks because they love each other.
