Passion And Determination In Romeo And Juliet

Some might think that passion and/or determination has a good ending but not in this case. Starting with two young lovers that secretly get married, even though they come from two families in a feud. As the many family conflicts happen, they both make their big sacrifice and kill themselves for for each other.
