Argument 2

Argument 2 for theory 1:

Here is more proof that Taylor Swift wrote this song because she wanted to share her story about a time when she was brave and fearless, when it came to being with the one she loved. The song is connected to the story of Romeo and Juliet. It is about Romeo and Juliet and how Juliet’s parents do not want them to be together even though they love each other. Juliet is being brave and fearless because she is sneaking around trying to be with Romeo even though they are not allowed to see each other. Them being together is looked down upon so getting caught together would get them both in a lot of trouble. Taylor Swift is singing as though she is Juliet and the guy she loves acts as Romeo.

Taylor Swift wrote this song because she wanted to share her story about a time when she was brave and fearless, when it came to being with the one she loved. As proof, the album of this CD is called Fearless and the title of the song is called “Love Story.” The album title is a big clue that she felt that she was being fearless when trying to be with the one she loved even though others did not want them to be together.

In one of her stanzas it reads:

And I said,

“Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.

I’ll be waiting; all there’s left to do is run.

You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess

It’s a love story- baby just say ‘Yes.

            This stanza is proof that my theory is correct. In the first and second line of the stanza Taylor Swift/ Juliet is telling Romeo to take her somewhere that they can be alone so that no one will see them together. They don’t want to be caught together because they will get in trouble. By taking that risk they were being brave and fearless because they could possibly get caught together. In the third line Taylor is waiting for her Romeo and wants to run away with him. This shows her having no fear because if she ran away with Romeo she could also get in a lot of trouble.

            In the forth line of the stanza, Taylor shows that she really wants to be with her Romeo and for them to have a perfect life together. She wants to be the princess and for him to be the prince, showing that she really wants them to be together. In the fifth line of the stanza she confirms that it’s a love story so you know that Romeo and Juliet are in love. Then she says “baby just say yes,” which means that she wants him to say yes to them being together. Juliet knows that they are not accepted being together so for him to say yes, and be with Juliet, it would mean that he truly loves her regardless of what other people think of them together. Taylor/Juliet clearly does not care about people not wanting them to be together, proving that Taylor Swift wrote this song because she wanted to share her story about a time when she was brave and fearless, when it came to being with the one she loved.
