Romeo and Juliet's Love
The love that Romeo and Juliet neither inspires me nor seems completely shallow. They don't really know each other at all, and their "love", as far as I can tell, is based off their looks. for example, when Romeo sees Juliet, he says, "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in Ethiop's ear- beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!"However, seeing each other makes them happy, so who am I to argue with that. It does seem a little shallow, but you do you. Romeo needs Juliet because without her he is really sad. Before they met, he said, "I have a soul of lead so stakes me to the ground I cannot move. Juliet feels like she needs Romeo, but I don't think this is true, because she was totally fine before she met him. They don't inspire me because I believe "love" is based off of other things than looks. If they are around each other while they're married and then genuinely like their personality, then I won't have a problem.
