Love?

We have read almost half of the play at this point. Romeo and Juliet have met, vowed their love for each other and married.

Are you convinced that they actually do love each other? If not love, how else might you define it?

Write a paragraph in which you answer these questions and justify your view with evidence from the play, including at least one quotation. 

To me, i think Romeo has fallen for her beauty before he's actually fallen in love with her. He lusts after her and this becomes an obsession which they call 'love'. The age also makes me disagree with their love because they are so young and they don't understand what love actually is and they haven't felt this before and have nothing to compare this feeling against. They become obsessed with each other and i think this obsession is taken in the wrong context and makes them believe that they are totally in love with eachother.
