Shakespeare seems to consider a self-destruction tendency inextricably connected with love, as it is love and the actions taken in its name that drive the protagonists of many of his plays to make the choices which ultimately lead to their downfall, most famously in Romeo and Juliet.

Answer: In the eyes of Shakespeare, love is inextricably connected to a self-destructive tendency.  

Explanation:

The connection between love and self-destructiveness becomes evident in Shakespeare´s usual representation of love as a bad thing through his characters' eyes. Such is the case in the story of Romeo And Juliet.

For example, throughout the story, the couple´s love becomes so extreme, that Juliet claims she´s willing to kill herself to prove her loyalty to her love, while Romeo does kill himself after he sees Juliet supposably dead.
