Were Romeo and Juliet really in love?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Even though theirs is a violent love, Romeo and Juliet are, indeed, truly in love because they risk their lives for this love, and they commit themselves to certain acts. Romantic love is the theme of Shakespeare's play

Explanation:

Meeting Juliet and finding that she is amenable to his advances helps him to move on from Rosaline. On the other hand, Juliet loves Romeo because she feels pressure from her parents to marry. They have an instant attraction, and when a person is young and impressionable, this is sometimes all it takes to spark love.
