An excerpt of a literature essay on the theme of love

"Finally, we come to true, 100% pure love. When Romeo meets Juliet, he knows that she’s different. Love changes people. Romeo became a more passionate, eager person and Juliet became more independent. Most importantly, love lasts through hardships. Love is not just a feeling; it is something that a person is willing to do something for. In the extreme case of Romeo and Juliet, they were each willing to die for each other--- that is love. Their love was so strong that they were willing to go against years of hatred between their families and try to make things work. "
