Hatred In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

“Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word by thee, old Capulet, and Montague, have thrice disturbed the quiet of our streets and made Verona’s ancient citizens cast by their grave beseeming ornament” (1, 1, 80). These famous lines were spoken by The Prince in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and demonstrate the hatred between the Capulet and Montague families.The feud between these two families goes back years and each generation is raised with hatred for the opposing family. At this time, each family has a teenage child, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet. The two almost seem destined to meet each other and fall in love. When Romeo and Juliet first set eyes on each other they knew it was instant love and after hours of first meeting,

But Juliet was afraid to take the sleeping potion because she thought she wouldn’t wake up again or she’d see the ghost of her because Tybalt in the tomb and she was afraid of that happening. Once Juliet took the sleeping potion the nurse found her dead, then once she was pronounced dead she was taken to the tomb, also once Juliet arrived in the tomb Romeo came to awake her when she didn’t awake Romeo thought she was dead. So when Romeo thought Juliet was dead he took the poison, but she awoke by Friar Lawrence she found Romeo dead beside her. So she decided to stab herself with a dagger to show her direr love for him that way they’d be together forever.

This feud went back manys years and each generation their hatred between the two families. But once Romeo and Juliet met they knew they had to run away because of the hatred between their families. This hatred was very foolish until the end when Romeo and Juliet died. Once their families found out Romeo and Juliet were married and they died loving each other, their parents knew they were meant to be. So, in the honor of their presents and love their families built a statue of Romeo and Juliet together in the city of Verona,
