Answer:
I would say that the love between Romeo and Juliet, the main characters in the play by William Shakespeare, is a prime example of "true love". So I would say that yes, they are an example of true love.
The reasons are these: first, these two lovers are capable of defying their own families, going against socially acceptable norms and customs, and even denying their own names, to be together. Nothing sets them apart, not even the fact that Romeo could lose his life if Juliet´s family finds out about them, or Juliet could be disowned by her family.
Second, they are able to withstand the hatred of the two families and still stay together. They even survive Romeo having killed one of Juliet´s family members, and still, they remain in love.
Third, they seek a way to get married, against all odds, even though Juliet should have honored her father´s wishes to marry Paris. And they remain a couple even though Romeo is exiled for murdering Paris.
Finally, Romeo and Juliet choose death as a means to be together, rather than being set apart, when both believe the other has died. They prefer death than being separated, which means that love trascends even death.
These are all reasons why the love of Romeo and Juliet is a perfect example of "true love".
