Views On Romeo and Juliet

Personally, I do not understand why Romeo and Juliet is such a well known play. I think that in this play their ideas of love are a bit infantile. It seems like they have mistaken love for lust or what we call now days "being sprung". Now that i think about it, it seems as if Shakespeare is making fun of teenagers. Maybe i am wrong but, it seems like he was saying teenagers are a bit foolish with their "ideas" of love and because they are so called "in love" with each other they do foolish things. I do not think that Romeo loves Juliet. The only reason i refuse to believe that he loves her at this point in the story is because when he sees her and finally gets her attention, the first thing he wants to do is kiss her. I would think if he loved her then he would approach her in a different way. I think that his mannerisms would be a lot more respectful. Also, I do not think he loves her because he just was crying and depressed about his love for Rosalinda. He had a strong attraction to Rosalinda and once he saw Juliet he forgot about Rosalinda and somehow fell in "love" with Juliet. Romeo is confused and does not know who he wants or what he wants. I believe that love at first sight works for people who strongly believe in it but with Romeo it didn't seem like he loved her, it just seemed like he found a new interest and she just so happened to be pretty. I think this play has a lot of veracity in it. Shakespeare shows that people often mistake love for lust and then he shows the more serious side which is that some people love each other enough that they would die for them. Romeo's cousins members and friends are even more foolish than him. They are crass and stuck on lust. With Juliet, her Nurse acted more like her mother than her biological mom. Her Nurse cared about how Juliet and her well being. While the Mother only cared about social class. Overall, I really enjoy the play and I think it's funny to see how people have not changed much since Shakespeare's time.
