Rosaline exemplifies false love because she is only briefly mentioned and never shown, and while Romeo made claims that he loved her, she's forgotten almost immediately after Juliet makes an appearance. Juliet is an example of true love, because Romeo devoted his heart and ultimately his life to her. He even planned to denounce his last name if it meant they could be together
