    The Montagues and the Capulets had a feud between the families and they reason for the feud was unknown. They just hate each other for no apparent reason and this cause Romeo and Juliet to keep their marriage a secret. “Now, by the stock and honor of my kin,/To strike him dead I hold it not a sin”(Shakespeare 1.5.58-59). Tybalt would have killed Romeo if Lord Capulet did not stop and that is just because he was threatened by the Prince. If he would not be affected by the death Lord Capulet would have let him be killed. If this was their reaction for Romeo just showing at a party just imagine how he would react to Romeo marrying his one daughter. In addition, when Juliet wanted to not get married to Paris she was forced to do it anyways. Her feelings were completely disregarded by her father if she tried to marry the enemy, the Montagues, there was no way possible her father would have allowed it. Therefore, the families feuding just help to escalate the tension and lead to Romeo and Juliet's…

    In the play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the Capulets and Montagues long-standing feud had a greater effect on their children’s behavior, rather than the nature of their own growing and developing brains. In the beginning of the play, when the first quarrel occurs, Tybalt says “As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee: Have at thee coward!’ (Shakespeare Mid-1590s). This “hate” that Tybalt and the rest of the characters have, have this belief engraved into their minds since they were taught this within their households. However, they have no particular reasons of their own for this hatred, and because they were raised with this belief, it causes their behavior to even act more immaturely and have their actions riskier, as “what motivates one teenager to take…

    The central idea of act one, scene five of Romeo and Juliet is that things change. One example of that would be when Tybalt is complaining about Romeo being at the party. Instead of kicking Romeo out, Lord Capulet allows him to stay. By allowing him to stay, the audience can see a dynamic shift in the hatred between Capulet’s and Montague’s. A prime example, probably one of the most important, is when Juliet says, “That I must love a loathed enemy” (Shakespeare 1.5.155). By stating this, she displays her predicament of loving Romeo instead of the hatred she is assumed to accept. The phrase “must love” grants the image of a love that cannot go away and has to happen. Instead of saying “hate” to describe how she is meant to feel, she says “loathed”…

    The story of Romeo and Juliet has been going on and repeated since Shakespeare’s time. But it’s really known because of the conflict between the two families. If there wasn’t any conflict it would just be another story about love. Conflict is the secret ingredient to a drama story, that’s what makes it a drama. The conflict between these two families creates tension and what we call “forbidden love”, the two lovers want to be with each other so bad they will die rather than to be with someone else. But their families disagree, which makes the whole story dramatic.…

    Alex Grey once said, “In a society that tries to standardize thinking, individuality is not highly prized.” Romeo and Juliet were deeply in love, but the world around them would not allow them to be together. The Capulets and Montagues could not look past their nonexistent differences and let their children find true love. The ridicule from their own parents and families caused for the downfall of the love-struck teenagers. In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the influence of the judgmental family is to blame for the death of the two characters.…

    “Where be these enemies?/Capulet! Montague!/See, what a scourge is laid upon your hate,/That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love./And I for winking at your discords too/Have lost a brace of kinsmen: all are punish'd.”(V. 3. 291-296) .
