In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare obviously touches on several
types of love (which can be found to be between many characters).
Some characters whose love I have noticed at first glance are:1). Romeo and Juliet (and vice versa)(obviously)
2). Nurse and Tybalt (Is it unrequited? Hmmm...)
3). Mercutio to Romeo ("In what way?" Good question.)
4). Paris to Juliet (unrequited, obviously)
5). Peter to Juliet (I'm not too sure what anyone else thinks
about that. I think there's more there than is at first
glance apparent.)(By the way: It's unrequited.)
6). (and of course we can't forget) Romeo to Rosaline (unrequited)Now comes the quandry. I can understand that there are these
issues to be found in R&J. I also believe them to be noteworthy.
I simply need help in devising a thesis. It is one thing to point
out a phenomenon. It is an entirely different thing to do some-
thing with it. Yes, I do have a paper. More importantly, however,
I have a mind that seeks for "neat stuff." Once found, I have no
idea what to do with it.By the way, available resource regarding love (besides R&J):
The Four Loves, by CS Lewis.For your time, I humbly thank you.
