Romeo And Juliet Essay

Who knew love between rivals could be so deadly? In the play Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare and published between 1591 and 1596, two young lovers, known as Romeo and Juliet, are part of a family rivalry. The rivalry is between the families known as the Capulets and Montagues, but Romeo and Juliet unexpectedly fell in love with one another, making their love for each other forbidden. The book written by William Shakespeare is about Juliet and Romeo showing their love for one another and how they were so in love by showing how they were willing to give up their families to be with one another and talking about how they have hatred towards themselves due to their family issues, the conflict, and the guilt they had to go through

This is evidenced by the fact that Romeo snuck out to go visit Juliet after they both found out that they were each other’s sworn enemies. Leading Romeo to tell Juliet how he feels about her and the situation caused by families, leaving him to state that “I hate my name, dear saint because my name is your enemy.

O dear account! My life is my foe’s debt”. Romeo was stating that how could it possibly be that the girl he fell in love with is someone he shouldn’t be in love with? Apart from this, Juliet and the nurse were also talking about Romeo since the nurse had just told her the news that Romeo is a Montague, which had set Juliet into worry, saying, “My only love sprung from my family’s only hatred!” Too early seen, unknown, and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me that I must love a loathed enemy." Juliet feels this way because Romeo will be her first love, and he couldn’t be her loathed enemy since she fell in love with him already. Concluding that the concept of forbidden love is affecting them because they both can’t live happily together in public and will have to be willing to keep their relationship a secret, the reasoning is that if either family finds out, punishment will be
