__Comments:__ You need a lot more for the thesis statement. This is a good start though. -Tripp H'D Good thesis statement.-Robert H
 * __Thesis Statement:__**
 *  In Romeo and Juliet, one of the most powerful themes is love being portrayed as a religion.

__Body Paragraph 1:__**  Juliet also says, “O comfortable friar! Where is my lord? I do remember well where I should be, and there I am. Where is my Romeo?” This is seen as a love as religion quote because normally when you ask a friar, “Where is my Lord?” you are asking where God is, but in this she is actually asking where Romeo is.

You shouldn't say "This is seen as a love as religion quote... Find another way to phrase it. -Tripp H'D I agree with Tripp, that wording is kind of confusing. This needs to be longer also.-Robert H

__Body Paragraph 2:__** __Comments:__ You need to say how this ties into love as a religion-Robert H
 * When Romeo says, “Tis torture and not mercy. Heaven is here where Juliet lives, and every cat and dog, and little mouse, every unworthy thing, live here in Heaven and may look on her, but Romeo may not.” He is saying that he is living on the far side, away from Heaven, and everything can look at her and enjoy her beauty, while he is banished and may not.

Body Paragraph 3:** __Comments:__ Don't say but that could go either way. Be firm in your answer-Robert H
 * When Juliet is in her bedroom, awaiting Romeo, she says this, "Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun." She is saying that if Romeo was to die, his body is heavenly that he could be cut into stars and and he would be more worshiped than the sun. This could also be seen as the sun referring to the light, which “The Light” is sometimes used as a term for God, but that may go either way. That quote really shows how their love is seen as religion.

__Intro:__** In Romeo and Juliet, one of the most powerful themes is love being portrayed as a religion. Romeo and Juliet are in love with each other, but their love is different. Romeo is almost like the slave of Juliet, and her pet. He is being quite feminine and letting Juliet control the relationship. They also see each other as heavenly creatures that would cause hell to reign upon them if one was ever to leave. (Or get banished.) I don't see how the fact that Romeo is Juliet's pet has anything to do with religion-Robert H
