Romeo And Juliet Essay Thesis
We all know of Romeo and Juliet as a famous love story but do they really love each other. (Summary) I believe Romeo’s true desire was based upon lust for Juliet’s body, not for who she truly is.
Romeo is not in love with Juliet because he is still in love with Rosaline, and is trying to get over her. Even Friar Laurence says he is not in love. Romeo’s love for Juliet doesn’t come from his heart instead, it comes from his eyes. “In act 2 scene 3 (located on page 3 ), Friar Laurence says, Holy Saint Francis, what change is here!

Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night. This quote proves my thesis because it shows that Romeo didn't fall in love with her because of how she acts or the way she thinks but for her beauty. It shows that he lusts for her and not loves
