What Are The Consequences Of Romeo And Juliet

True love is very dangerous, and often comes with consequences. True love is like a thistle, it is fragile at first, then gradually becomes very beautiful and wondrous, but then eventually results into a dismal state of sadness as the seeds of love are carried by the wind to another place.

Romeo and Juliet begins with Juliet and her mother. The pair is preparing for a great party that Juliet’s family, the Capulets. The event was created to help find Juliet a husband.
