    Romeo and Juliet is known as one of the greatest love stories, but it has its fair share of tragedy as well. The story riddles with themes throughout. Love is the first theme and there is no greater love than the love Romeo and Juliet share. Shakespeare offers his audiences just as much hate as love in Romeo and Juliet. The families of both Romeo and Juliet involve themselves in centuries of feuding. The ongoing feud between the Montagues and Capulets drives Romeo and Juliet into a life of secrecy, which ultimately causes their deaths. Youth is another theme and ties directly to how young both Romeo and Juliet are both in their age and their relationship. The story of Romeo and Juliet uses sex as a theme as well although not in the intimate details of more modern stories. The two lovers concerns are not with the wishes of their warring families, they just want to be together “Deny thy father and refuse thy name / Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn by my love / And I’ll no longer be a Capulet” (2.2.34-36). Love is the first theme Shakespeare displays in this play.

    ...ena. “You love me. Real or not real?" I tell him, "Real.” (Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games). Even though Katniss and Peeta are so young, they truly believe that they are in love. This changes my opinion of Romeo and Juliet and leads me to believe that they really could have been in love so young. Romeo and Juliet were a mere 13 and 14 when they claimed to fall madly in love and get married, but this was around the normal marrying age for that time period. “But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun” (Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet). In this time period, young people were very romantically mature and knew about love and did not just marry anyone because there was no such thing as divorce. This makes me think that Romeo and Juliet may have been in love and people were just very critical because the were of rival families.

    It is important for young teens to have fun, feel accepted, and be loved. Romeo provided all of these for Juliet. He flattered Juliet and showered her with affection and promises of love when they spoke at Juliet’s balcony. Furthermore, after their marriage Romeo made Juliet content by spending the night with her. All these actions were amplified in Juliet’s mind as her nucleus accumbens, the pleasure center of her brain, has an exaggerated response to rewards (Emonds). The combination of an over amplified pleasure center and an underdeveloped executive center leads to risky decisions simply for exhilaration (Emonds). With both aspects considered, Juliet’s brain would not allow her to pass up being with someone she loved, even if that meant the rash decision of sneaking out to marry
