In life everyone has a place in there respected families. Every decision you make can affect your family, yourself, and your loved ones. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, two star crossed lovers; Romeo And Juliet had a very suspenseful relationship that was affected by poor decisions made by themselves and others.
