Infatuation In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

While many die hard readers of this play might be tempted to classify Romeo & Juliet’s relationship as an example of true love, their relationship is actually an infatuation. Although some might argue Romeo and Juliet were in love because they made sacrifices. One piece of textual evidence is when on page 236 they could use when Romeo killed Tybalt and Juliet made a sacrifice of her cousin for their love. But this is not persuasive because she chose her lover over her own flesh and blood which shows its an infatuation it has greater emotional hold over a loved one’s death that could never happen the cousins death would cause more emotion, over just a lover being forced to
move.
