"Love vs Love" Theme ;


One major theme that I believe has been portrayed throughout the play is “Love vs Lust” has been shown. The quote “If he married, my grave is like to be my wedding bedwhich is said by Juliet has a unfathomable meaning. In my opinion, this quote is portraying that if Juliet gets married to someone else, or when she has passed away, she will forever be waiting on her true love Romeo. Romeo is probably the only one she could ever love, because for her it was Love at first sight. Her love towards him is astonishing; she’d rather die than marry anyone else.






The second quote I chose was “Alike bewitched by the charm of looks” in my opinion, this quote is portraying that when they first seen each other, they never based it on personality it was based on the way they both looked, and how one another appeared. It does not say that they fell for each other, based on their personality or the way the person is on the inside. The night of the Capulet’s party Romeo had seen her and chased after her because he fell in love with her beauty instantly.


 She had felt the same way about him from the time she had noticed he had spotted her across the room. They talked for a second, and she ran with him and kissed him. Since then they have been inseparable, gazing over each other any chance they get. It’s due to lust that they first fell in love, love at first sight lead them to be together.

  1. This is a good post Sarah - however the assignment asked for you to explore two topics by turning them into theme statements and using your quotations to discuss them.
    If you want to post the second half of the assignment please email me so I know to check your blog!
    Thanks!
