Explanation:

There has been a lot of research done on what love is, how it originates, develops and evolves, what causes it to start and what causes it to dissolve, or disappear. There have been attempts at explaining it in physiological, psychological and emotional terms, but still, there is very little understanding of the true nature, true origin and true evolution of love. What's more, there is not even concensus on what love actually is. However, in the Triangular Theory of Love by Professor Robert J. Sternberg, love is characterized by a series of elements, which usually are represented in a triangular formation and each of these elements are present in the process of love. The important thing is that these three elements in the triangle do not have a specific order, but rather, interact continually. One of the three elements of love is passion and lust, and this step is purely a physiological reaction, chemically induced and controlled, by the body to the stimulation. In this case, Jason's reaction to Judy is still in this stage.
