After reading Act 1, Scene 5, I do not believe that Romeo and Juliet are in love. I don't think there is such thing as love at first sight, like when the two saw eachother at the Capulet party. During this party, they saw eachother from across the room and imediately started engaing in a conversation. The nurse states, "His name is Romeo, and a Montague; The only son of your great enemy." This quote shows the reader that Romeo is forbidden to Juliet, since their families are enemies. By stating this, I believe that they want to be in a relationship more because of the fact that they would be star-crossed lovers. Their parents would not approve, which will make them more eager and rebellious to keep the relationship going. Even though Romeo and Rosaline were from different families, this relationship is different because Juliet likes Romeo back, and they both want to be part of a relationship. But, because of the complication being that their families are constantly feuding, this makes them want to be defiant against their families. I believe this is more debatable than simply stating it was love at first sight.
