Romeo and Juliet overview

 

            Romeo and Juliet, is a story about two very young lovers, whose love leading them to destruction. They really did not imagine of the tragedies that would have happened. Romeo and Juliet did nothing wrong except fall in love. I think the three most important aspects I thought of in this play that lead them to tragedy and destruction is, the on-going feud between both their families, the nurse helping Juliet and putting ideas into her head, and the most important thing that I would choose is fate. These are the three aspects that I have thought of that led both Romeo and Juliet to destruction.
             The on-going rivalry between their two families Capulet and Montague was one aspect that led both Romeo and Juliet to destruction. There was no doubt that these two families had many problems to sort out. These two families hated each other so much that even both their lower servants hated each other. This feud between both families would have caused a lot of problems for Romeo and Juliet, by knowing the big problem between their families these two young lovers kept their marriage a secret. Because of this issue Romeo and Juliet couldn't see each other often as they wished. I think these two families were very hard to deal with and it would be very hard to make both families become friends.
             Obviously the Capulet household and the Montague wouldn't have accepted the marriage of Romeo and Juliet. Actually keeping the marriage made Romeo and Juliet turn to trustworthy people for help, such as Friar Lawrence with his great knowledge and Juliet's nurse with great loyalty towards Juliet. These people helped them a lot through the hard times with their helpful advice, but sometimes even caused havoc and frustration mainly, I"m talking about Juliet's personal nurse. In one part of the play the nurse advises her to marry Paris with the quote ""I think it best you married with the county". I think if the nurse kept being loyal and followed the feelings that Juliet was feeling then this whole story would have changed just from one little advice.
