+209 They say Shakespeare was an expert in the concept of "love", but in reality, being married to someone he didn't love and only married because he got her pregnant, and then cheating on her all the time with different women shows the contrary, amirite?

I think you mean the concept of 'romantic love'

Doesn't mean he necessarily mean he was the perfect lover, but he knew what love is about.

Not really. Romeo and Juliet took place over the course of a few days

Romeo and Juliet was not a Romantic play. It was a tragedy. In my Shakespeare class, we talked about how Romeo and Juliet was more of a parody on courtly love and how it isn't real love.
