Is Romeo and Juliet a tale of love or infatuation?

Tale of love, some people might say infatuation but I think Shakespeare meant it to be for love he just wrote dratically within the play.

William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is more of a tale of disobedience of tradition rather than a tragedy of  love.  However to answer the question, after evaluating the timespan of which the events occured and the fact that Romeo seemed to be using Juliet as a rebound for Roseline, the play is a tale of infatuation.

Romeo and Juliet is a story of "star-crossed lovers." It is a demonstration of love at first sight, of obsession and passion.  Remember, they are approximately 14 years of age, an age where all young people start to become self-aware and ready to explore all the world has to offer.

Even though Romeo is on the rebound from Rosaline, he is in love with Juliet from the moment he lays eyes upon her. She sees him watching her, and when her eyes take him as he touches her hand, they are lost in a love that is completely unreasonable by today's standards.

Young people got married at about the age of fourteen during that time. Juliet was instructed to assess Paris at the party and report to her mother as to her interest in marrying him. Instead she fell in love with a stranger. They were in love before they even knew each other's name. Their love was immediate and almost to the point of obsessive since they did get married the very next day.
