Is Romeo's love for Juliet inflatuation or true love?

[RobinHood3000]

I think you mean "infatuation." According to one of my high school English teachers, Elizabethan culture didn't make much of a distinction between love and lust, so it was likely that it was written as "true love," though not by modern definitions.

[Virgil]

Oh, it's definitely true love. But then again, what exactly is true love? As opposed to false love? Bottom line, he loves her. He wouldn't have risked his life for her otherwise.

[RyuKid]

In contrast to Romeo's infatuation with Rosealine, the love between Romeo and Juliet is more mature, and shows Romeo's growth. But like Robin said there wasn't much distinction between love and lust back then.
