I agree with Emily because in the name of love, people are really willing to do anything for the people they love regardless of what kind of love it is. Juliet did not want to get married to Paris but she loved her parents and she agreed to it for the sake of her parents. In the case of Romeo, she was willing to do a bunch of crazy things for him without her parents knowing. That's true love.

Adding on to what Rehan said, marriage was more of an economic and power proposition at the time, which is why Juliet’s dad wanted her to marry Paris. However, Juliet is interested in Romeo. She married him and wants to be with him. Regardless, she did not know him well enough to love him. She saw him, discussed a little with him, kissed him, and then claimed to love him. That is not love. It is just more feelings she feels for Romeo than for Paris.

I agree with Ishita because they fall in love very quickly. Within a day they already decide to get married yet they know very little about each other. In Act 2, scene 2, Juliet even expresses her concerns with these sudden and irrational decisions, especially considering how young they are.
They’re feelings are primarily driven by physical appearance and not emotional connection. In the text Romeo is constantly describing Juliet’s physical features (Act ii, scene ii, page 404). Romeo just wants to satisfy his desires. He “love” for Rosaline dissipated once he saw Juliet.

- I disagree with the Montague side arguing that times back then were different and people were more "mature" about love. I think that people back then were different, but still human with human emotions, like people today. People may have different views on society as the world develops, BUT, love doesn't change. The stages of love remain the same, no matter what time in history it is.

I agree with emily when she says that Juliet at first open torwards marriage with paris but after she meets Romeo her outlook completely shirfts and she is full of love for romeo not paris. Juliet was willing to marry for the love of her family a complete stranger. However, once she fell in love with Romeo she only wanted to marry him not paris

# data[].attributes.body
I would respectfully disagree with @Emily because she is talking about differences between love now vs love back then. Back then, "love" was courtly and happened early in order to pass family names down. According to crash course, courtly love is described as a desire for sexual satisfaction and marriage which is the definition of lust in the info graphic.

-I agree with Arin because she talks about how their love is not true love at first sight, and it is just attraction to physical appearance.
-I disagree with Nitya because she talks about how their love has emotion, when in reality that Romeo and Juliet do not talk to each other personally, but rather talk about their physical appearance.

# data[].attributes.body
In act 2 scene 2, Romeo only talks about Juliets appearance and how she looks, rather then her personality. They also have only known each other for a short period of time.

# data[].attributes.body
So this "feeling" is LUST. Yes, LUST can lead to love. BUT this is a physical attraction.

Also, your defense was purely metaphorical. The astrology wouldn't effect your "true emotions" as you say.

# data[].attributes.body
I have to disagree with what Ava is saying. Just because these two teens are young and growing, it doesn't mean that they can't have intense feelings for each other. Love can be impulsive. They married in thoughts of lasting for a long time. If they don't know what love is, then how would they know what lust is?

I agree with what Emily said earlier. It's very unlikely for someone to risk their life for someone else just for lust. If it were really lust, Romeo and Juliet could easily just get that with someone in their own house without risking their lives.

Friar basically says Romeo loves with his eyes and not his head. Act 2 scene 3, lines 65-69.

# data[].attributes.body
They never form an emotional bond and they are just kids. They rarely ever talk about loving their personality and just about there looks. It is more of a physical attraction because Romeo just likes her looks. This is more just lust rather than love.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Emily saying that Romeo and Juliet dying for each other expresses their love and real affection for each other. They really care about one another and have a deep trust in each other, even if the montagues and capulets don't get along nor like each other. They are both given people to marry, but they reject the lust opportunities by wanting the love they feel with a certain individual.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Arin because she related it to modern times which shows the reality of young relationships. Those relationships also do not last long and kids are still developing brains, so they do not fully know what they want.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with sehaj but throughout the book, there are many instances in which the looks of each other are set aside. Love requires connection and care, happiness, and assurance. These things are consistently being communicated between Romeo and Juliet in each scene- specifically on the balcony- Peyton

1.) I disagree with Emily because Juliet is around 13-14 years old. Her brain hasn't fully developed, causing her to make not well thoughtful decisions. They don't have the experience to be in "love." The love they feel
isn't real, they lust each other's physical appearance.

# data[].attributes.body
Romeo and Juliet are in love because in the text Juliet says something to the effect that she would choose Romeo over her family. It takes a deep love to choose someone over your family and lust does not have that deep emotional connection that love does.

I agree with Alyssa describing Romeo and Juliet's relationship as "situational love". Their teenage brains felt the need to rebel against the feud between houses (as said in the crash course video) which is what made their relationship develop so quickly. Even Friar Lawrence saw their relationship as rash at first, and only agreed to marry them when he saw an opportunity to end the feud.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Emily. It may have been each other's looks that grabbed each other's attention, but through the small amount of time, they would give up everything to be with each other. For example whenever they are apart they long for each other and shows clear emotions of that. Romeo also stated how he would give up his name and loves the Capulet name. He was in so much distress when he got exiled because of the fact that he can not see juliet anymore. It was the same as Juliet. She was grieving more over the fact that Romeo is getting banished than her own cousin dying. She said that him being banished is worse than her own family's death.

# data[].attributes.body
Many teenagers have a surge of hormones that cause them to make decisions they may regret later. Additionally, many teens have young brains, as their brains are not fully developed. The choices that Romeo and Juliet made may have been caused by their emotions in their brain.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with Alyssa when she said the feud between Capulets and Montagues would end and romeo and Juliet want to marry with no specific reason just to get rid of violence. It didn't relate to the main topic of them really having a love for each other and the two sides needing to get along would maybe be a result, not the main cause. Romeo has so many lust opportunities, but he developed a special connection with Juliet and they feel comfortable, so they want to marry and take their relationship to the next level so they are legally together.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with what Ava said about how they didn't get to know each other, they barely talked about their personal lives, all they talked about was their physical attractions and beauty of their partner.

# data[].attributes.body
If Romeo was only showing love why would he adapt to what Juliet said and say that he can love the Capulet too. Keep in mind that both clans are rivals and despise each other. Romeo with this in mind still says that he loves both clans equally as if they were his own family.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with what Arin said about how they judged each other by purely their looks. They have only known each other for a day before getting married.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think it is lust because the infographic states that lust is when two people enjoy a short-term relationship of mutual pleasure. This is not the case with Romeo and Juliet, they would run away and spend the rest of their lives together if they could. They are the definition of love: they are willing to commit to each other with pure intentions.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Emily because she said that both Romeo and Juliet are being truthful to each other and they are willing to give up each other's lives for their love, not their lust.

I agree with Ishita because Romeo and Juliet are still teens and their brains are still developing. They can make careless mistakes and bad choices since they are still learning.

# data[].attributes.body
-I agree with @emily because she off puts romeos lustful statements and makes sure that they are actually in love
-Romeo and Juliet are in love because if juliet just wanted to get married she would have married Paris, but since she was in love with romeo she married him
-Romeo and juliet are in love lust is a short term relationship but they wanted a long term relationship, marriage

Romeo and Juliet and in love because love is a deeper connection, and as seen in the movie, when Romeo finds out he is banished, he threatens to kills himself. He wasn't mad that he could not have sex, he has mad about not being able to see Juliet.

# data[].attributes.body
It does not make it right that everyone was against their being together, but it is clear that what they felt for each other did not reach love just yet. They were just infatuated with each other, with the looks of one another and the excitement of being with someone. As the article “The Teenage Brain: Very Much A Work In Progress” by Arun Rath explains, lust can be “passionate and intense feelings” that “with time…may deepen or dissolve.” They did yet develop a deep connection or even know very much about each other. The only thing they knew for sure about each other was that they were of rival houses and that they were into each other’s looks.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ava when she said that Romeo and Juliet don't know each other that well because in the dialogue we can see their everyday lives, but we never see them asking questions about each other. I also agree because we don't exactly know how long Romeo has liked Rosaline, but he just immediately fell "in love" with Juliet. It just doesn't make sense.

I agree with Ishita that lust is a short-term relationship, while a relationship of love takes time to build. Romeo and Juliet's relationship progresses extremely quickly, which is a characteristic of lust.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ishita because love takes time. Lust on the other hand takes place in a short amount of time. They got married very quickly and didn't know each other for a very long time.

# data[].attributes.body
Which lustful statement was made to Juliet at that point in time?

@emily

# data[].attributes.body
if they were only attracted by physical attraction then they wouldn't go to such lengths for each other.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with the Capulets when they said that they couldn't feel true love because they don't know each other. I think there was a very different definition of love during that time to what it is now. You can't really compare their relationship of love to another one during our time.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with Nitya because she said Juliet can't live without Romeo's presence. The reason she can't live without Romeo is because she is no longer allowed to kiss and do that stuff with him. Juliet rarely discusses how she likes his personality.

# data[].attributes.body
Romeo and Juliet are in love. In the text Juliet says, "Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou will not, but be sworn my love, And I'll no longer be a Capulet." Juliet is basically saying that she would change her name and refuse to go by what her father wants for Romeo. She's also saying she would leave her house and no longer be a Capulet, which really shows her love for him. If it was lust, I don't think Juliet would ever say any of that or even get married to him. Romeo also says on that same page that he would change his name for Juliet so he would no longer be a Montague, which shows his love for her.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Emily because the actions of Romeo towards Rosalind and Juliet were very different. Rosalind was lust, while Juliet was love.

# data[].attributes.body
Romeo would change his entire identity for Juliet. Romeo states, "Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized; Henceforth I never will be Romeo." Act II, Scene ii, page 404, lines 50-51. The fact that he would change his entire life, never see his friends again, all for Juliet-it signifies his love for her.

# data[].attributes.body
Romeo and Juliet are showing love as well because of their actions. A piece of evidence to show that they love each other is when Juliet starts to weep when she hears that Romeo was exiled.

# data[].attributes.body
Although @sehaj is correct by saying Romeo was attracted by her looks, most relationships stem from first looks. If somebody in public meets someone else, they don't know each other's personalities. Just because the relationship stemmed from the first sight doesn't mean it can't become love

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Sahej because Romeo feels mainly a physical attraction rather than an emotional attraction, showing lust rather than love.
