The modern literature community recognizes Shakespeare as one of the most brilliant minds in the history of dramatic theatre. His unmatched ability to represent human behavior and emotion makes the love in Romeo and Juliet the driving force behind the play's success. Shakespeare incorporated many different types of love in order to capture the hearts of the Elizabeth Era.

Juliet's nurse shows amazing concern for the young girl's well being. She, in some ways, takes the place of her natural mother ("Examples of Love in Romeo and Juliet"). Lady Capulet treated Juliet as a naïve young girl with no knowledge and feelings of her own. Nurse recognized the maturity of Juliet and helped to make her truly content.

Romeo tries to reason with Mercutio, telling him "Gentle Mercutio, put thy rapier up" (Act III, Scene 1, Line 83), however, does not heed to the warnings and thus arrives upon and early death. The love Romeo showed for his friend does not end at his death. The young, brave man rushes off to avenge the death of Mercutio.
