Journal #3 - Shallow or Inspiring Love?

Act 2, Scenes 1-2

     I think that the love Romeo and Juliet have for each other is shallow and fake. I may just believe this because I have never experienced this wondrous thing called love, but I just don't think Romeo and Juliet truly love each other. It appears they fell for each other's looks and never sought for each other's character traits and personality. For example, in Act 2, Scene 2, in lines 15-19, Romeo says, "Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Having some business, do entreat her eyes To twinkle in their spheres till they return. What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheeks would shame those stars". Romeo is only speaking of Juliet's outer beauty, paying no mind to the inner beauty she may or may not hold. Like I said before, I have never experienced love, so the love they share may be love at first sight, like so many people believe in. However, I do not believe this, and therefore think Romeo and Juliet's love for each other is shallow and fake.
