Love

Love

    

    The concept of love is very controversial.  Some people think it's amazing and it brings hapiness to the world, and some think it's foolish.  For example, Romeo in Romeo And Juliet by William Shakespeare believes that love is powerful.  He thinks that it can take over your mind.  And for him, it does in the play on several occasions.  But is he exaggerating on love?

    Also in the play, Romeo's friend, Mercutio, has a perspective on love.  And it's far different from Romeo's.  He continuously tells Romeo that he's getting himself worked up about love, when it's really unnecessary.  He says love is foolish, especially at age 14.  So who is right?  I believe that neither of them are completely wrong nor are they completely right.

    In my opinion, love isn't foolish at all.  But since 14 year olds are not fully mature, they may believe they're in love when they're really not.  For adults, I believe love is when you and someone else want to spend the rest of your life together.  Basically, marriage.  But 14 year olds don't have the maturity to decide that they want to spend the rest of their lives with someone.  However, in the play, Romeo believes love can take over your life.  And I have to admit, it did because him and his lover showed their love by committing suicide together.  That shows true love.
