Juliet Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, Which mannerly devotion shows in this; For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss." —Romeo and Juliet, Act I, Scene V[29] The play arguably equates love and sex with death. Throughout the story, both Romeo and Juliet, along with the other characters, fantasize about it as a dark being, often equating it with a lover. Capulet, for example, when he first discovers Juliet's (faked) death, describes it as having deflowered his daughter.[34] Juliet later erotically compares Romeo and death. Right before her suicide she grabs Romeo's dagger, saying "O happy dagger! This is thy sheath. There rust, and let me die."[35 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_and_Juliet

I doubt any of us are bored enough to do your homework for you, so if you need help, this probably isn't the place to get it. There isn't anything difficult about understanding the plot of Romeo and Juliet, what you may have trouble with is the language used. If you have time, you may want to watch a movie version to help you understand the plot. You can pick out the quotes yourself once you understand what you are looking for. Just think about the difference between love and lust, and then think about the plot, and the interactions of the characters. The lust doesn't necessarily have to be limited to Romeo's desire for Rosaline, it could also be what the Prince has for Juliet, or even describe the initial feelings between Romeo and Juliet. As always, sparknotes will probably help.

Any lines referring to the physical appearance would be lust. Any lines referring to forgetting about Rosaline by meeting someone new would be lust. Actually, I can't recall any lines that are love...unless they're in the scenes after they've already married and waiting for Romeo to leave town.

In the very beginning, all those quotes with Samson & Gregory = lust
