“Love is the root of death.” This saying‚ once preached by the famous singer Oscar Wilde‚ is seen constantly throughout Romeo and Juliet. Love is a powerful emotion in the real world‚ changing lives for the good when practiced properly. However‚ when used poorly‚ it is a poison‚ resulting in disaster for the user‚ and others involved. Love was used very poorly in Romeo and Juliet‚ and the intense emotion ironically lead to the path of death for Capulets‚ Montagues‚ and noblemen‚ by misleading‚

Who loved whom more - Romeo or Juliet? In my opinion‚ Juliet loved Romeo more than he loved her because her love was more intense.

Beauty can be a difficult concept. It changes over time and people have different opinions
