Many people question how “true” Romeo’s love for Juliet really is because of his infatuation with Rosaline at the start of the p

Answer:

This question obviously asks for a student opinion, but there is evidence to support both sides of the argument. In Act 2, Friar Laurence states his opinion that Romeo does indeed fall in love too quickly. Romeo is arguably in love with being in love more than he is in love with any particular woman. The speed with which his affections shift from Rosaline to Juliet – all before he ever exchanges a word with the latter – suggests that Romeo's feelings of 'love' are closer to lust than commitment. This interpretation is supported by the numerous sexual references in the play, which are even interwoven with religious imagery in Romeo and Juliet's first conversation. However, it also possible to argue that Romeo's lust does not invalidate the purity of his love. Romeo and Juliet celebrates young, passionate love, which includes physical lust. Furthermore, whereas Romeo was content to pine for Rosaline from afar, his love for Juliet forces him to spring into action. He is melancholy over Rosaline, but he is willing to die for Juliet. Therefore, a possible reading is that Romeo and Juliet's relationship might have been sparked by physical attraction, but it grew into a deep, spiritual connection.

Hope this helps!

What do you think could happen to places like Yellowstone if they aren't protected
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: If Yellowstone National Park, for example, were not federally protected, the canyon would surely be home to a logging community that would cut into valuable old-growth timber. In fact, according to an article in the Seattle Times from 1903 discussing what soon became Yellowstone National Park's boundaries--"A commercial promoter had surveyed them and planned a private railroad right-of-way along John D. Rockefeller Jr.'s land on its east side."

Only 12% of all land areas in the western United States is public property with federal protection status. These lands include national parks and monuments like Yosemite and Mt. McKinley Wilderness where exploration is often restricted or off limits because these regions are so fragile or valuable to wildlife that they need our help to secure it.
