Recommended: Romeo and juliet consequences of love

The story "Romeo and Juliet" of Shakespeare is like a picture of love which contains not only the images of a beautiful and pure love of two teenagers; the two beings created for each other feel mutual love at the first glance but also of a feud; a long-standing hostile of two families; the Montagues and the Capulets and fate of people; the pitiable fate of Romeo and Juliet who win the feuding by a true love but are unable to win their fate.

The writer builds such these central characters Romeo and Juliet to raise an image of a true and pure love. Love is something holy and solemn but it is happy or sorrow? Actually, love can make people change. Romeo and Juliet are belonging to two hostile families become a nice couple by their love. Although they fall in love before recognizing they are enemies, they love each other with all the heart and then they still love and win the feud by their thinking and feeling oriented. They do not feel hatred each other. They might wish they were another beings; not Romeo and not Juliet for not belonging to feuding families. Being in love, they are both happy and sorrow, happy because they are willing to do anything, including die, in order to be with their love; and sorrow due to many obstacles on the way to happiness. It's love to defeat the feud, the hostile and love makes life more beautiful and meaningful. No one and nothing can destroy the love.

Feuding kills Romeo and Juliet; they are dead by a dim hatred of two families because who knows that what is this hate for? Nothing. It seems just an ancient feud. From the death of Romeo and Juliet, do you think that they are really separated and the feud destroy their love. No, the feud just kills them but cannot destroy their love. They are dead but they are still happy because they are the winners; the winners of the feuding and they just leave this world at ease mood and they are now forever together. Probably that Shakespeare wants us to understand what cause such these deaths and the feuding leads to nothing good, it just make life worse and it's ones who live with hatred have to pay a high price. That's what two families lose; they lose their only children by their absurd feuding.

    Romeo and Juliet is known as one of the greatest love stories, but it has its fair share of tragedy as well. The story riddles with themes throughout. Love is the first theme and there is no greater love than the love Romeo and Juliet share. Shakespeare offers his audiences just as much hate as love in Romeo and Juliet. The families of both Romeo and Juliet involve themselves in centuries of feuding. The ongoing feud between the Montagues and Capulets drives Romeo and Juliet into a life of secrecy, which ultimately causes their deaths. Youth is another theme and ties directly to how young both Romeo and Juliet are both in their age and their relationship. The story of Romeo and Juliet uses sex as a theme as well although not in the intimate details of more modern stories. The two lovers concerns are not with the wishes of their warring families, they just want to be together “Deny thy father and refuse thy name / Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn by my love / And I’ll no longer be a Capulet” (2.2.34-36). Love is the first theme Shakespeare displays in this play.

    Romeo and Juliet is a romantic love story about a young lad named Romeo who has fallen in love with Lady Juliet, but is unable to marry her because of a long-lasting family feud. The play ends in the death of both these characters and the reunion of the friendship between the families. Romeo is in love with Juliet, and this is a true, passionate love (unlike the love Paris has for her or the love Romeo had for Rosaline) that nothing can overcome, not even the hatred between their two families that is the reason for the death of their two children. Throughout the play, Shakespeare thoroughly explores the themes of both true love and false love and hatred. Without either of these themes, the play would loose its romantic touch and probably would not be as famous as it is today.
