In the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, various types of love are represented. According to some students of Shakespeare, Shakespeare himself had accumulated wisdom beyond his years in matters relating to love (Bloom 89). Undoubtedly, he draws on this wealth of experience to allow the audience to see various types of love personified. Shakespeare argues that there are different types of love, interchangeable love, painful love and love based on appearances, but only true love is worth having. The first type of love the audience is introduced to is Benvolio's interchangeable love. According to Benvolio, a man should love a woman only for the duration of the relationship. If their relationship were to end, the man should not feel any pain. If the woman initially rejects the man, he should not feel any pain. In both situations, the man should simply start a relationship with another woman. “But in that crystal scale be weighed/ Thy lady's love against some other handmaid/ Which I will show thee shining at this feast, / And she will not show well what now seems best” (I.ii.103-106 ). Benvolio's definition of love shows the audience two things about Benvolio: he is a womanizer and has never experienced true love. The next definition of love comes from Romeo, before he meets Juliet. According to his definition, love is painful “Love is a smoke made from the vapor of sighs” (Ii197). “Is love a tender thing? It is too hard, / Too rough, too boisterous, and pricks like a thorn” (I.iv.25-26). He keeps to himself, does not venture much into the daylight, or even allows it into his room: "He closes the windows, he shuts out the beautiful daylight" (Ii142). I believe Romeo is both right and wrong: unrequited love is painful, but Romeo does not truly love, as he is simply infatuated with a woman. Another type of love we are exposed to during the same scene is the love of Lady Capulet. Lady Capulet, like The Nurse, believes that love comes from appearance, both physical and political, and has nothing to do with emotions. He shows this when he speaks favorably of the appearance of Paris and its nobility. She also shows that this is a superficial love by the way she treats Capulet when she publicly denounces him. “ CAP: What noise is this?
