Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare in 1597 about two young, teenage lovers who fight to be together but their families would despise such a thing. The two do everything they could possibly do to be together. Revenge, love, and secrets force them to grow up quickly. The two families of Verona known as the Montague’s (Romeo’s family) and Capulet’s (Juliet’s family) are continuously in a bitter feud. Prince Escalus, the ruler of Verona, declares that anyone in either family involved in any future fighting will be put to death. In Act 1, Capulets throw a masquerade ball every year. The Montagues, of course, are not invited. Capulet and Lady Capulet, hope that this year their daughter Juliet will fall in love with Paris at the ball and marry him for the sake of keeping their family name reputable. Romeo crashes the party only because he wants to see Rosaline, a young lady he simply lusts over. But at first sight of Juliet, Romeo falls in love. Juliet is also hooked. They speak, and kiss. As the party ends, Romeo and Juliet discover that they belong to rival families and are both distraught. This is where the real trouble erupts. These two teenagers go far out of their way to be together. They remained to keep it a secret from their parents. All of this adds up to the theme of rebellion. Rebellion means to go against something and in their case, their families.

In “Romeo and Juliet”, a big mistake that Juliet made was going against what her parents were saying and telling them that she’s not marrying Paris. Her parents then become furious with her. Her father threatened that if she doesn’t marry Paris, he’ll disown her and throw her out in the street; she can beg for food or starve. She then comes up with a master plan to get out of the wedding.

It might not be the wised course of action, but we learn many lessons from it. People tend to take the word rebellion in a negative perspective.

In the fair city of Verona, two rival families, the Montagues and Capulets were involved in a nasty family feud that goes back years before any of the members were born. Even the townspeople were involved in the dispute, because the families were always fighting in the streets and causing disturbances. They disrupted the streets of Verona and even Prince Escalus tried to break up the fighting. They were given a warning, by him that another public fight would result in death. While this was occurring, Romeo, (a Montague) the main character, was getting over his last love, Rosaline, and was very upset. Juliet of the Capulet household had just been introduced to a wealthy young man, Paris, whom her parents wished her to marry. Yet she did not love him. Romeo goes to a party in an effort to forget about Rosaline. At this party he met Juliet, and immediately fell in love with her. He later finds out that she is a Capulet, the rival family of the Montagues. He decides that he loves her anyway and they confess their love for each other during the very famous "balcony scene" in which they agreed to secretly marry the next day. Friar Lawrence agreed to marry them in an effort to end the feuding between the families. Unfortunately, the fighting gets worse and Mercutio (Montague) a good friend of Romeo ends up in a fight with Tybalt (Capulet), Juliet's cousin. Tybalt killed Mercutio, which caused Romeo to kill Tybalt in an angry rage. For this, Romeo is banished from Verona. At the same time, the Capulet's were planning Juliet's marriage to Paris. Juliet didn't want to marry this man so she arranges with Friar Lawrence to fake her own death with a sleeping potion that would make everyone think that she was dead. Friar Lawrence promised to send word to Romeo to meet her when the potion wears off and to rescue her to Mantua, where Romeo was currently staying. There they would live happily ever after. Unfortunately, Romeo didn't receive the message on time and upon hearing of her "death" went to Juliet's tomb where he drinks poison and dies. When Juliet's potion wears off, she wakes to find her lover's dead corpse. She then proceeds to stab herself with Romeo's dagger. The two families find the bodies and with their shared sorrow, finally make peace with each other.

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.
