What is love?

As we study Romeo and Juliet, we'll focus on the relationship between love and violence, the 2 predominant motifs on which we'll focus our study. Let's consider just the former...


What is love? Do opposite genders think of love differently? Why or why not? How do you know? Can teenagers be in love? To what extent is true love possible in this day and age?

Choose one or multiple questions to respond to in a paragraph, employing effective writing skills (beginning with a topic sentence, supporting your ideas, proofreading, etc.) Consider, as you post, the advantages of blogs: this is a discussion outside of class. Read each other's ideas and respond to them, challenging yourself to even turn back to the blog later in the evening to see where the conversation went and to respond a second time.

  1. Love is an emotion that everyone experiences differently. A person can love something or someone. Love is normally referred to as a guy liking a girl or a person loving a car or an animal. IF you love someone and they love you back you are considered to be dating and you are required to tell the truth and required to see each other constantly. People think as love as more than an emotion it could be considered a lifestyle. A person loving a thing or an animal isn't the same as loving a person you might do anything for both of them but with a person you trust them and you show confidence towards them and an object of some sort you might not do the same the object like a pet or something may show love back but that is because you feed them and they depend on you to take care of them. My opinion love is an emotion that gets over looked most of the time, and love also gets blown way out of proportion in most incenses.

  2. From R and J, I don't think that each sex thinks about love differently, but each state of mind does. If someone with a positive outlook on life may a very different thinker than someone who dreads the next day in their life. The latter person will think about love maybe as a burden, or a waste of time, they may not even think about love till they go to a bar and see a couple in love. Now the person who likes life and all of the curve balls it throws may feed from love of their family or spouse. That is why I don't think each sex thinks about love differently because a male or female may have one of the state of minds above.

  3. Before starting R and J, i think that love can be expressed in many ways such as, "I love cookies" or "I love dogs" or "I love you". Any things can be loved but all in their very oown expressed way. Loving cookies is a love that you would not take serious and would be somthing you enjoy having. Loving dogs is like enjoying and favor. Loving someone else is serious. To love someone else to me is carring for them, treat them with respect, show how you feel about them, be there for them, and to sacrifice you life for there's. I think that opposite sex's think of love the same way but express their love differently. I also think that if you feel different inside about an individual then you are on the right track of love. If you care and feel safe and can trust that person you are on the right track. For a teenager to be in love is just like a 30 year old guy in love. It's all about when the right person comes and if you are willing to make a comitment.

  4. In R and J, I think that you can fall in love at any age. They were only 16 and found love at first sight. When they first saw eachother they knew they were in love. This play really shows that you can be in love at any age and love is still the same feeling and emotion till this day. People may have a different look at it today then in the 1500s when this play was wrote but most people still find and believe in it. Violence can relate to love in a lot of ways. Someone could be using violence to fight for their love or someone could always have violence in their life but love kept them going. Thses 2 words can be very strong and them in the same sentence can mean a lot of things.But in the play R and J they show love unpassionatly and show that you can be in love at age 16 and how they fought to be with eachother in a way of using violence.

  5. I think thatlove is a powerful emotion that everybody feels, but everyone also looks at it in a slightly diffrent way. When most people think of love they see some Disney movie type thing with a prince rescuing the princess and them living happily ever after, but I think love influences life more than just that. Everything you do in life is based off something that you love. Doing what you love, working to get something you love, being with someone you love. In my opinion, love is more than just an emotion, almost a way of life.

  6. I think that opposite genders do not view love differently because, its the same emotion, and ultimately the same thing. Do opposite genders have different perspectives of love? Yes, guys have a perspective of the perfect girl who will take care of them and be at their every command. Girls dream of meeting Mr. Right, the one who will sweep them off her feet. That is the distorted view Hollywood has created for society. Guys may act like they are unintelligent and a little slow(some girls too) but the truth is, male or female its the same emotion. Are they capable of feeling the same thing? Of course will they express it and show it in different ways? Yes, they wouldn't be human if they didn't. In the end females and males are more alike then what they think.

  7. I think love is a strong and deep emotion that everyone has or will feel at some point. There are many different types of love.Be it a love for a friend, family member, toy,or just that one person you can't live without. No matter what you will feel love for one of these things at some point.Love is a word people often use when describing a true deep feeling for something such as their husband or friend ect..But ether way you use it it is unique to you and the way you interpret it.Love can also be a deep bond or connection between two people, such as Romeo and Juliet.This kind of bond was so strong that they simply could not live without one another.Now weather or not everyone will feel a love like Romeo's and Juliette's is unlikely but every one will eventually feel some form of it.

  8. When it comes to love it knows no bounds. Everybody says love beat alll but love doesn't nessicairly overcome all just things like hate and annoyance. Love is wanting to be with somebody when there gone and not needing anybodies approval to be together just the fact that your with each other is good enough for you. Teenagers can fall in love, my parents, did and both of there parents did, even my moms mom got married at 16 and my good family friends the FInleys have been married for 28 years and they got married when they were sixteen. Love is seen diffrently by boith genders because it means something different to both of them and also to the individual themselves because as women you are told love is this hurtful painful type of thing when really that isnt love at all and men are told that love is being "whipped or controlled" by the woman you love but thats not love either. True love also never dies out it can happen when you least expect it

  9. Most people think about love in general the same way, but people usually think about their own love in different ways based on their personal experiences. For example, a newly married couple might look at love as something extraordinary while someone who has divorced multiple times might look at love as a waste of time and a setback to life.

    I think that true love is possible today, but is really hard to come by. I also think that true love is much harder to have now than years before because our generation underestimates the commitment love needs and are okay with divorces. In other words, love isn't treasured today like it was before.

  10. Love is a feeling that you get when you have a longing or desire for a thing or person. I think that absolutely different genders have different views on love. I think guys in general have a very abroad view of love. They think that they will experience love when the time comes, and that they won't have to try. Where as, in my opinion, girls try to find love in places that they don't belong, or even that they simply don't exist. I think this is because of the way we live, guys and girls simply don't live the same way, guys don't have and or express emotions that girls do every day. I personally don't think that teenagers can really be in love, I think that they can feel that they like each other but I don't think that they actually feel love as they do when they are older and can extinguish "love from like". I think that love is even more possible now than it was back then, because it used to be that you didn't get a choice who you married or loved, that your parents chose for you. Not you get the choice who you marry, you get to spend time with the person and to see whether you actually like them, or not.

  11. Love is a feeling that many express throughout their lives. A lot of people do not know what true love is though. Those who are in love usually get married. Marrying does not always mean you love someone and some just marry for the others money. Love is about respect, trust, and loyalty. In marriage, when one of these are broken it can result into a divorce. Another kind of love is when one loves a nonliving object. This includes items such as rings, cars, and other memorabilia.

  12. Love is the feeling you get when you meet the perfect person for you that you want to spend the rest of your life with. I don't think different genders portray love differently but I do think people do because some people get married for different reasons like money, looks, etc. Love should not be about physical things but for joy in spending time with each other. This is why most teenagers don't love, because they "love" for looks, jewelry, etc. True love is still possible but in these days when divorce rate is up to 50%, true love is extremely hard to come by.

  13. Love, is when a human/animals love another person/animal, object, or place. It is when you would want to be with that person, always have that object, or always be at that place and never get tired of it. It is very well show in Romeo and Juliet because it shows Romeo so sad and that is showing love because he feels he cannot continue it, he says that without his love his hours are long but with her they are short showing that he really cares for her. Yet love is not always to another human but also for imamate objects too.

  14. I think that love in general is having certain feelings and or emotions towards something or someone. Love can be described on many different levels, such as if you love "snowboarding" a hobbie or if you love "dogs" because its your favorite animal. I see love as a passion and I think that every human being experiences this passion differently and at different times in their lifes. I think that all people think of love in general as the same thing but their own expeirences with love they think different about. Love can be a strong bond between a man and women for instance Romeo and Juliet, their passion for each other was so strong that they could not be with out one another. I think that true love is possible in this day and age but I think it is a lot harder to find than it was in earlier times. Love was worshiped way more back in the days than it is now. Today you here of way more divorces than you do of two people falling in love. The love that Romeo and Juliet had for each other was unique and I dont know if any two people will ever have a love like theirs but I do think that every person in this world will expierence some form of what we call "Love".

  15. Love is an emotion that is uncontrollable to the human mind. Men and women do think of love as two different ideas but still hold on to the basic idea. Women think of it as fantasy and men think of it as someone who cares about them. I do believe that many teens can be in love because they don't know what to expect or what they want. In this day and age true love is not very likely with all the technology and online dating websites. Also many people just are too busy doing their jobs to sit around and wait for their true love to come and save them.

  16. Love is an extremely strong, deep and powerful feeling. Teenagers can very much be in love, I think because we have proof of it everywhere. Romeo and Juliet were in love, and there are so many people out there who marry their high school sweet hearts; which wouldn't be possible without loving at a young age, right? It is rare to really, truly love somebody when you're a teenager because you are just getting to know yourself, and every time you like some one you think you're in love. But it sincerely can happen at any age because you are going to feel that way no matter what, It's love. Just don't fool yourself.

  18. Let me try that one again. What is love? Love is security, the feeling to you that there is someone there to help you and keep your secrets. Love is growth, your family helps you grow through hard times. Love is unconditional, no matter what you do, you will always be loved by your family.

    ReplyDelete
  19. What is love? Love is a connection to a person or a family that will help you with hard times. Love is a feeling that will never go away and someone will always love you. Your family will always love you and will never give up on you and that is true love. This is what love is.

  20. I think true love is more than people in todays age think of it as. Back in the times of Romeo and Juliet it seemed as if true love was much easier to find. I think the biggest thing why true love is so hard to find is that we are so picky. That's not a bad thing it's just there's hardly anyone out there that it "perfect". High school students who date are most often not in true love and are just doing it for fun. True love is hard to find and there are even people who get married thinking they have true love when they don't because they have made themselves think that. Also there is no definition to true love for everyone it's different. Some people find it in family and others actually do find it in that special someone. I believe love is different between males and females because we are all different as people. No matter who or what you are we all have different passions and we all show our love in different ways so of course our love will be different from each other. Clearly, true love is a very special thing that most people will go through their life never experiencing.

  22. In my opinion, love is an outdated concept at which it has never existed. You can love your family and friends but not with the white-hot intensity Hollywood portrays between a man and a woman. This idea of "Love" has turned into a marketing project. Commercials that say: “Buy this or she will no longer love you.” Love is an excuse for people to be together and reproduce. Love is an idea and not a feeling.
    Women are much more in love with the idea of love than men. Women are meant to think that men are supposed to sweep them off their feet and give them flowers on the most random reasoning. Does this happen? on a rare occasion it may, but most likely does not. From Hollywood's perspective most men are just trying to get lucky when they say "I love you" to another. While some men, very few, actually want to court a woman and shower her with good feelings creating Hollywood's idea of "love".
    When some of my friends are dating and the first hour of their relationship they say "I love him/her!" Before even getting into an actual relationship teens are blinded by the media. Commercials and movies say that love at first sight is possible and there is someone out there for everyone. While a small portion of this may be true, most teens don’t a have a mental filter to see that what they are doing is crazy, for only knowing someone personally for a few hours then saying that you love them is irrational. It cannot exist if no history is there. Teenagers, in my opinion, cannot be "in love". Maybe long ago, in Shakespeare's time it was possible because people at the age of 15 were getting married but certainly not based on love. In this day and age love is a marketing project the naive teenagers buy into.
    True love is something that does not exist. People usually marry each other because of fortune, fame, or the couples really do know each other and decide that "yes I can live with this person for the rest of my life, and reproduce with this person. They will take care of me and our relationship will work." Love is just an idea where everyone has different opinions on it. My personal opinion, it does not exist.

  23. Love is something that i believe everyone experiences through out their lives, starting from when one was just little. Maybe having a crush, then as the years go on, it turns into something more now you might have a partner and get married. Love is a feeling of desire and want toward one other or an item that has some sort of impact on ones life. I don't believe that there is "True Love" though because no one, ever lives happily ever after, like in children books. Everyone goes through hard times with their loved ones. Looking at myself and others, there is no way of denying it.
    Some people go looking for love, EHarmony, Sites like that but i think that if your really looking for it, it will come to you.

  24. I think that love is a certain feeling that people have for someone or something. I don't think that opposite genders think of love differently, but I do think some people think of love differently than others. For example, some people may base love off of money. I think teenagers can be in love, but I think it's more rare than it was a few years ago. I think that true love is possible in this day and age, but I think a lot of people take love for granted. People don't cherish love like they used to many years ago. Today we hear more about people getting divorced rather than falling in love. I think that every person will experience some kind of love during their lifetime, but not all will be true love.

  25. Love is a very strong emotion that is very easy to feel but yet somewhat hard to fully explain. It is like trying to explain water to someone who has never tried it. Love is one of those things you can't really explain without using the word itself. Love is something everyone experiences, and you dont have to reach a certain age to feel it. Love isn't what we've distortded it to be with hearts and chocolate and big teddy bears. Love is doing acts of kindness for people and sacrificing for them, love is being there for them when they need it the most. Love isn't always a soft happy thing, sometimes it can be very and sacrificial and painful, like in Romeo and Juliet's case. But love is still a great thing.

  26. Love is a strong emotion and possibly the highest and most fulfilling feeling that life can offer. Love is like a drug. You can become addicted to the love you share with someone else, then when the love is gone, you crash and burn like you would when you stop using a drug. Most teens and even some adults may insist that they have been in love, but they really don't even know what love feels like. Love has no exact definition but many people will try to say otherwise. Bottom line, love is pretty much in-explainable and is tough to some across.

  27. Love is a strong feeling towards something. typically people think of intimacy between a man or and a woman. Love is also bitter sweet. Love is always kind and sweet. Some may say to that, then why does it hurt me? The answer to that is it is probably not love if it is hurting you. True love is happiness on both sides.

  28. True love can exist amoung teenagers. Anybody can be in love if you truely love them. I know multiple people in love. A lot of them are teenagers. Romeo and Juliet were teenagers and they were in love.

  29. True love has always been a difficult thing to find and this is no less true in our time. In Romeo and Juliet's time, arranged marriages would be the main obstacle to love, but the obstacle in our time is no less daunting. The truth is teenagers, young adults, and even adults want to experience "true love" as soon as they possibly can. For this reason they may be willing to convince themselves that they are in love even when they are not. These deluded people stop searching and keep themselves from experiencing any real love. The results of this are horrific. The divorce rate is astronomical and studies have shown that in as many as 40% of marriages at least 1 partner has had an affair. We need to realize that settling cannot be an option as long as we have an inner need to love and be loved.

  30. I think that love doesn't have a definiton. There are so many ways that people go about it. I feel that young love doesn't exist. Teenagers say they love each other but i think they are just lost. Love can hurt you if it's not the right person. Love is having unconditional feelings about someone and accepting someone for who they are. Everyone wants to love and be loved but, that is no reason to rush through it.

  31. What is love? Love is an emotion that can compel us to do to things we never thought we would do. Everyone experiences it differently and we don't always know if it is true. If a girl just met a guy and that night she thinks she loves him, she wants to fall in love so she creates this false emotion. Some people in their life never fully experience love because they never meet the right person(soul mate). So in my opinion I think that love exists and everyone can feel it but they have to look for it and not let it come to them.

  32. In modern days, love is viewed very differently than it was in Shakespeare’s time, people back then would die and fight for each other, today you might die for a loved one but it wouldn’t be as dramatic as it was. To start in R and J their families are in a huge battle but that doesn’t stop them. Now, we have this little saying called “you’re grounded” where you are confined to your room/house for days or weeks. This will usually teach someone a lesson because we have grown up always getting in trouble and being “grounded”. Also, we normally are not always going to be with the same person for a long time. Most parents/ couples will break up or get divorced; it is very rare for people to stay together now. Finally, we would not die for our loved one, Romeo and Juliet may have but we would go on with life, not many people want to die anymore, life is too glorious. If someone can find another who is willing to die for them they would be lucky these days, life is not always the “fairytale” ending anymore.

  33. In my opinion love is a feeling someone has towards something or someone. Everyone has different opinions on things so I wouldn’t expect love to be any different. But I think it is more than just different genders with different opinions I think also different ages and cultures have different opinions on it too. There are many different kinds of love as well there is the love you have for your parents or siblings or even the love for sports or activities you do. I’m not positive on anything that has to do with love but I have my opinions on it like everyone else in the world. When I think if teenagers can fall in love at first I think it is silly and we haven’t found ourselves how we could find love. But then I think of my cousin and he is nineteen and he got married back in November everyone thought they were crazy because they were teenagers but we should be happy for them if they really found love in each other. Love is to the extent that you let it be. If you put a limit on love and that’s what our generation is trying to do then it wont go very far but love is a huge part in everyone’s life weather they realize it or not.

  34. Love is a complicated idea in today's day and age. Love can be expressed by anyone, toward anything. Today so much influences teens toward love such as music, movies, and tv shows. Although some teens don't understand exactly what "love" means in adults thoughts, I believe they can still be in love. And no one can truly say that no one can't be in love because love cannot be indefiently defined. Love is a idea and a feeling. And if the idea of love changes through age then so does love itself. The lifestyle and the social rules of today's society have changed since the age of Romeo & Juliet so has the thoughts of love.

  35. Love is an emotion to show how someone feels about someone or something. Love is always being there for someone, and cheering them up when they're down. I believe love is the same no matter the sex. Love is love, whether you're a man or a woman. I think teenagers can be in love. It all depends on when you find the right person. R and J just happened to find their perfect someone when they were a teenager. To achieve true love in this day and age, love must have been a bond that in no way could be broken.

  36. I think that love is a very powerful thing and that different genders have different ideas on love. Women have a more romantic view on love and males have a simpler idea on love. I think it is very hard to fall in love because it takes a very long time to fall in love and you have to find the right person. Teens an have crushes on people but not likely to fall in love

  37. What is love?

    Love is the emotion of one human's attraction to another. Love is very broad, and can be interpreted differently. It can be as simple as a child's love for their parents, or as passionate as a man and a woman's true love. Love can change the way a person acts, talks, thinks and dreams, because the next thing a person wants besides loving another person, is having that person love them back. If both people love each other, and would die for one another, that is true love (hence Romeo and Juliet). Therefore, I feel that love is the strongest emotion that any living thing can ever posses.

  38. What is love that is a very good question. Love is an emotion that everyone experiences differently. You can love people, family, pets, and things. Love can change between people or things in an instant. Love will always resemble a deep bond. Love sometimes makes people do stupid things. So love is a very powerful emotion.

  39. Love is an emotion that will pretty much consume your life once you have it in your system. It can take all other emotions away or bring them all into play with no sense of order or reason. It can make you scared, mad, sad, or it could make you the happiest person in the world. It can even be looked at as one of the best things in the world or one of the worst things for taking over your life. But love is what makes the world go round.

  40. I think we all experience love differently. To some its the feeling of longing and want, for others it cant be explained. I think love is the most powerful emotion to be felt, it can motivate your, or depress you.

  41. Love is an indefinable word that sometimes is said too much, and sometimes it is not said enough. Movies and songs are filled with “love” but those are not reality. Some people will argue that love does not exist; I believe that it only exists if you let it. Real teenage love is rare, but sometimes it happens. Males and females don’t view love differently. No matter how you say “I love you”, when you really mean it, it’s the same for both genders.

  42. What is love?
    Love in my opinion has to be one of the hardest of the words to define, however it does have a universal definition based on what I have been reading in everyone’s interesting blog posts. Why I say universal is because the definition for this one is usually perspective based. Not all words in the English dictionary are like that. But, my take on this is that love is a very bi-polar emotion in a sense that it can be good for you one second and completely mess your life up in the next. I also think that it really can be summed up as a strong bond to each other. It can also be shown to a degree too, depending on whether you like something or someone such as if you like a car or a book or something such as that then the degree would be low as in comparison to liking a girl a lot and asking her out which would be high in comparison on the degree scale. So overall, love is what makes the world go around and is a bond that can be made strongly or weakly; it all depends on the person.

  43. Love is the state of which you think and feel for another. Those who love another feel a connection to them and to each other. When they are apart they yearn to be together, and when one is lost the other feels part of them is gone and wonder how they will be able to move on. Protection is common between them trying to keep the other out of harms way thus is the case when a father protects his son tries to keep him safe. Love between husband and wife differs from those of a father and his son but none the less it is that bond almost like glue that keeps things together without love there would only be hate and hate consumes not in the way love does but hatred only brings around destruction.

  44. Love is an affection one has for another person. It can not really be completely defined in words, it is more of an emotion or feeling towards someone. Each gender may have different opinions on things, but love is not one of them. Even though we sometimes will not admit to wanting love, we all do. Girls and boys just want to take care of each other, and make the other feel safe and protected. You can never know what true love is until you come across it. That is what we all hope to come across true love. Teenagers think that every person they date is the one they will spend the rest of their life with. It might happen for some, but more than likely not for others. So love could be possible for teenagers. True love is possible, it always has been and always will be, we just have to be willing to find it.

  45. I believe love is the most amazing thing imaginable to the human brain that is experienced very rarely but when it is experienced it is true bliss. Like Brandon said it is a drug for your heart and soul. I do believe that teenagers can experience true love because true love has no limits. True love these days is what someone experiences with someone that they could never experience with someone else. It is when you feel like you could marry that person.

  46. humm what is love? Well to me if you love something or someone it means that you couldnt live without that thing or person. It a stong emotion that anyone can feel...even teens. To love someone means that you care alot about someone. But to me being in love is something else. To be in Love with one one means that you cound see your life without them and that you would do in thing for them. But love is express diferently within each person. My thought on what love is can be 100% different them someone elses. so to anwer what is love... Love can be many different things<3

  48. In my opinion love is when you really feel any emotions whenever you see that person.In movies people say "my heart skips a beat when I see him/her" or "you make my heart beat slow and fast at the same time." People all know that can't happen but teens think their in love but they don't know what love is.Love is something you can only share with that perfect person for you.Every person has a different perspective on love.Love can mean anything but to me it is whenever you see that person you get butterflies in your stomach,you can't stop smiling when you look at them,and your heart feels like it is spinning.

  49. Love is a feeling of commitment and warmness to a person. It is wanting to spend your time with them and care for them. It is the desire to keep a person in your life forever. Boys and girls do have a slightly different perception of love. Girls are more of emotional lovers, they like guys to do nice things for them and do romantic things. Boys see love as a protection over girls, trying to keep them safe. I also think guys like to take care of girls in a finical way while girls like to cook and clean. Also I think guys are more physical lovers than girls. I think teenagers can be in love. For example I have an aunt and uncle who got together at 14. They then broke up a few years later and then got back together later in life after both had a divorce. Also I've been in a relationship for a year and eight months and I love my boyfriend. It might not be love that lasts forever but its definitely strong enough that if we broke up we'd still be friends. I think true love is entirely possible, but people have lost their patients in waiting for love. I think internet dating and people searching and feeling like they need to be loved makes them not find it. I think love is something you have to wait for because the best person will come to you by not looking.

  50. Love can be experienced at any age or gender. There is no boundary for who can love someone and when, such as Romeo and Juliet, both at very young ages have fallen in love with one another

  51. I believe that different genders do have different views on love. Girls like to be in love and so do guys but i think girls like it more.Also, girls like to talk about love when guys don't. I dont think teenagers can be in love because most of them dont understand what love is and why it is important.

  52. Love is a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, friend, or the opposite gender. Well, that's what love is in my opinion. Different people have different opinions about love. Some people hate it and want nothing to do with it as other people are in too much of a rush to find it. I dont think that people always know when they actually are in love or not in love. But everyone experiences love. You hear about it everywhere; you can hear about it in books, on the TV, in magazines, your peers, and in music. So even if you haven't actually fallen in love, you tend to feel some how connected to it because of how much it is around you. In my opinion, love should not be rushed nor slowed down. I think that you should just let it be and live life to the fullest and sooner or later, love will stumble across your path. Also, when you hear the word love, you tend to automatically tend to think about the kind with the opposite gender. There is also the kind you can feel towards things like your dog and food. Overall, love is just a word that summarizes all the different (usually positive) words you feel towards something.

  53. Love is an emotion that can be described in many different ways. Such as in Romeo and Juliet they loved each other so much that they would indere any obstacle to be together. Love is a bundle of emotion all together. When you love someone the feeling is unreal and when you love something (like a sport, food, movie)the feeling is not as strong as it is when you love someone.
