Shakespeare’s life in the film is very comparable to Romeo’s life in Romeo and Juliet. William Shakespeare’s life in the film and the play he is writing has

[pic] The secret to true love as opposed to sexual love is to under stand that it is unconditional‚ if you love some one or something you must love it warts and all‚ otherwise it’s conditional love. A dog can spend its life being mistreated and still welcome its master. That is true love. Before we can discuss the secret to true love‚ you must understand that true love is a gift that has to be valued and nourished. It’s not something that you find one day like a beautiful seashell on

LOVE EXPERIENCE In Everyone’s life there are different experiences; one of those is the first love. Love is a passionate feeling for another person that can be felt in a variety of shapes and size.
