Romeo and Juliet
In Romeo and Juliet, a play written by William Shakespeare, the author demonstrates that one should not rush into love. Through the actions of Romeo in the play, the audience learns that love, especially teenage love, results in dangerous consequences.
A great example of Romeo rushing into love is that only two days before seeing Juliet, Romeo was deeply in love with Rosaline. Because she was not giving into his sexual desire, he quickly moved on to Juliet. Friar Lawrence even tells Romeo that he’s acting foolish but Romeo doesn’t listen because of his craving for love. Here is a quote proving that Friar Lawrence is calling Romeo foolish: Then young men love with their eyes, not with there eyes. How many salty tear-drops did you waste salting a love you never tasted.
Another great example that they rush into love too quickly, is on page eighty-four two scene two. But after only one day of knowing each other Romeo and Juliet decide to get married, without there parents consent, and plus there Capulets and Montagues so, they hate each other and, also they had not even had a formal meeting . Which obviously demonstrates that Romeo is unstable and is just seeking love from anyone which in this case is Juliet.
The best example of Romeo, and Juliet rushing into love is at the end of the book when Juliet fakes her death, just to be with Romeo even though one day ago Romeo had killed her cousin. Later in that scene Romeo goes to Juliet’s tomb with a vial of poison, and kills himself because he thinks that Juliet was dead but she wakes up and sees Romeo dead and kills herself with Romeo’s knife. Example:
O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die.
Yea, noise? then I'll be brief. O happy dagger!
Snatching ROMEO's dagger
This is thy sheath Stabs herself there rust, and let me die.
