In the book Romeo and Juliet, its about how when they see each other for the first time they fall in love. They decide to get married. In our class we had a debate, our debate was if Romeo's love towards Juliet was it true love or has love. Some people choose its was true love and some people taught it was harsh love. I was in the undecided side because both sides were right, correct because Romeo loves Juliet, cares about her, and he will die for her. But its also harsh because Romeo doesn't know that she is a Capulet, and when he finds out he realizes that her true love is her enemy.
One example i think is a harsh love is because Romeo kisses her and then he gets married with out getting to know her better, and also you may not know if Romeo is looking for a distraction to get Rosaline out of her mind and etc. For example "unfold the imaged happiness that both receive in either by this dear encounter." This shows that Romeo loves was harsh because it shows that Romeo still likes Rosaline and and he can't choose between Rosaline and Juliet. Another example is that "With Rosaline? No. I have forgot that name and that name's woe. This shows that Romeo has forgot her name and all about her, but this shows harsh because Rosaline was her love, and he wanted everything with her but she didn't like him.
In conclusion this shows that Romeo's love is harsh because it shows that Romeo may look for a distraction to forget about Rosaline and only being with Juliet for pleasure, and just forgetting that she ever existed in his life.
