Reading Shakespeare is wonderful because his plays hold a large worldview. In this play, Romeo and Juliet, he presents a big variety of opposites. The love of Romeo and Juliet is not allowed by different aspect of life, but their love is strong as all those issues. That love that is against those matters makes a war between two families, The Capulet and The Montague, but also this conflict goes beyond that and reaches the destiny of these two lovers. The conflicts that take place in this play are love, struggle of social institutions and fate.
Romeo and Juliet is the most famous love story in the English Literature. Love is naturally one of the main points of this play. The play focused on romantic love between these two teenagers of Verona, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet. In Romeo and Juliet, love is a violent, ecstatic, overpowering force that replaces all old values, loyalties, emotions and rules of two equal in dignity households. In the course on this play, the young lovers are driven to defy their entire social world, such as family, friends, rules, etc "Deny my father and refuse they name And I"ll no longer be a Capulet" (Act II, Scene II). Romeo and Juliet doesn't make a specific statement about relationship between love and society, religion, rules, family; rather, it represents the chaos of being and passion of being in love, combining images of love, violence, death, religion and family.
Much of Romeo and Juliet involve the lovers" struggle against the public and social institution that opposes the existence of their love. The structures range from concrete to abstract such as the families that arrange their children's wedding, law and public order, religion, honor and others. These institutions often come into conflicts with each other. The importance of honor, for example, sometimes results in brawls that disturb the public peace, "draw if you be man" Sampson says, them there is a fight in the middle of Verona between Capulet and Montague servants in the middle of Verona, which fight has not a reasonable excuse.
