Question

Having read “Adolescence and the Teenage Crush”, how could it be argued that Romeo and Juliet’s relationship is just a phase? Romeo and Juliet share a romantic crush, but how might an identity crush factor into the choices made by both Romeo and Juliet?

Answer 1

It could be argued that romeo and juliet’s relationship is a phase because romeo fell in love with juliet based off her looks. romeo had previously been in “love” with another woman prior to juliet. neither romeo not juliet took the time to get to know each other. their relationship was mostly based on lust for each other. juliet was a child when she met romeo and it could be argued that she believed herself to be in “love” with the first man who showered her with attention. had romeo and juliet had time to develop their relationship, it would’ve mostly likely ended in them getting bored off each other.
