Enough said.
How many of us can actually find love that is balanced? Meaning: you love him just as much as he loves you back??
Shakespeare was an expert writing about love, ALL KINDS of love: love of brothhood, love of parent and children; love between two young persons who equally love each other, triagle loves.... I think among all these kinds of love,Shakespeare did the best in depicting unrequinted love - love that is not returned. Shakespear never had the mercy by giving this kind of love a happy ending. Call him a snob, he will not make Andrew Aguecheek a happy husband of Olivia's (Twelve Night), because she does not love him back. She loves someone else, Prince Orsino. Hence, Shakespear must make Orsino olivia's husband in the end.
Among all these kinds of loves, nothing is more painful than loving someone who does not love you back. I believe we all have experienced that.
Finding so called "true love" is the process of finding that person who loves us just as much as we love them;
As to marriage, it is a formality, true. But undeniably, it is the highest form of commitment between two persons (usually) in love. It is a official announcement between the two of them also towards the rest of the world: from now on, I am taken! I will NOT be available to other people who are interested in me, who are flirting with me! I view marriage is a tool to discipline two persons who are committed to each other. Therefore, if you believe in true love, marriage comes naturally to most people.
