Abstract
Love is one of the pivotal concerns in Shakespeare ’s plays, and in excogitating on love in Shakespeare on must start with Romeo and Juliet, for it seems to be the sublimate de piction of the phenomenon of love and description of its destiny in the world. Shakespeare is a middle ground between the Classical poets whose tragedies barely addressed of love and Romantic poets whose doleful stories involved only love. Earnest authors in antiquity with the unique exception of Plato, did not exhibit men and women in love as the most wistful of beings confronting the most tragic of calamities. Whereas the Romantic poets created love their subject incisively because of their choice for the passions over moral excellence and logic. Christian world, in fact, has uncertain and evasive history so far as love concerns, but surely the authorised perspective vilipends erotic passion in privilege of agape. This is a query that pursuits Shakespeare immensely . Romeo and Juliet are the flawless pair of lovers. They are charming, they are blossoming, they are stately , and they are abundant. Man normally longs a flawlessness that he cannot accomplish. But at least constituent of that completeness comprises in our capability to perceive it. When reading the exquisite and splendiferous words in their balcony scenes, only the most depraved reader would cast off the text aside because it wounds overmuch to ruminate that one will never have anything poise so s weet and lovely . Love in Romeo and Juliet knows no limitations of correctitude, whether established by family or country
