The reader - Romeo and Juliet

At the brginning of this reader - Romeo and Juliet, Romeo thought he fall in love with Rosaline who is another beautiful women in the story and it is ironic when he found out that his true love is Juliet. Although I haven't read through the entire story yet, I can already feel Shakespeare's ability of playing words into a beautiful language. My first thought of this story is that Romeo and Juliet is just a retarded old love story. However, I completely chaged my mind after read read throught the first part of it. At the end of previous class, my literature teacher, Mr. Catlin asked me what do I think about true love. Well, in my opinion, I think true love is a kind of mental dependence on someone else that can last through his or her entire lifetime.
