Love vs. Hate

Discuss how the motif  is seen throughout Romeo and Juliet.

The motif Love vs. Hate is seen throughout the play Romeo and Juliet multiple times. For example: In Act I Scene V Romeo says:
                     "Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!
                      For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night."

Romeo is at the party and is seeing Juliet, his love, for the first time. He has not felt this way since he lost Rosaline. Them falling in love will later affect the story because they will fall so deeply in love that they will even kill themselves later on just to not have to live without the other one.
Another example of the motif Love vs. Hate is in Act I Scene I when Gregory, a Capulet, says:
                          "The quarrel is between our masters and us their men."


This shows the hatred between the Capulets and Montagues. It will later affect the story because it will be hard for Romeo and Juliet to meet and love each other.
But in the end, their love will bring together the Capulets and the Monatgues and they will see Romeo and Juliets love and get over their quarrels and be friends. Love always triumphs over hate

  2. Another great question: do you agree that "Love always triumphs over hate"?

    Do you have any reactions from real life...?
    Do you believe in the power of love?

  3. I think that love does not always triumph over hate because sometimes person who love each other at the beginning separate from each other because of a problem and they hate each other. In this case hate triumphs.
    Yes we can say that love is very powerful and gives you wings but I think it is foolish to believe that it is the most powerful thing that exists, we must not forget that other emotions exist and they sometimes can be more powerful than love.

  4. I do agree that love always triumphs over hate because whatever a person will do to harm you will not have a big impact on you if you have someone to share your feelings with. For example if someone keeps slaging you off, you’ll not even hear his words when you’ll be in love and from real life experience I know that someone trying to spread his unhappiness hates when it hasn’t got any influence on you. I think Love hasn’t got any powers in itself. Love only gives you some power to strenghten yourself… and it’s what you make with it that will have power.
