An everlasting conflict between two families, Montague and Capulet. What started this inclining depth of mutual hatred, and can it still be considered as the reason for their bickering. The effects of this dispute are even more widespread today, leaving more and more people wondering of the cause.

Most of everyone knows the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. If you have ever read it then you know how it ends, or if you have ever heard about it you know how it ends. What I want to know is why? Why the two forbidden star crossed lovers took their own lives, but there is no answer for that. There is also no answer as to why the two families, The Montagues and The Capulets could not get along. It took the tragedy that had occurred for them to become civil with each other. In my essay I will be discussing how the two star crossed lovers got along with their parents and if they were rebellious in the modern sense. Along with how their parents felt about them.

Humanity’s susceptibility to its primitive impulses is what ultimately facilitates an ancient feud between Capulets and Montagues to remain prevalent to a contemporary generation of characters.

Chorus states (or sings), “Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene from ancient grudge break to new mutiny where civil blood makes civil hands unclean”(pg. 771) Even from the start of the play, it was known that there was a hatred between the two.

At the Capulet party, Romeo states, “Is she a Capulet? O dear account my life is my foe’s debt.” (pg, 790) Even at the very start when Romeo found out Juliet was a Capulet, he was upset. This hatred has made these kids’ life very difficult for them to do what they want. This feud between the two basically created the play. Without the feud, there would be no “Romeo and Juliet” it would just be another story about how two people fell in love a long time

Juliet Capulet, the heroine of Romeo and Juliet, and Yukiko Amagi, a playable-character from the Persona 4 series, are two very different characters who could not be in a more indistinguishable situation. The two individuals grew up very similarly, have comparable personalities, and learn to live for themselves.

The quote shows the behaviour of the society where this took place. Since there is a big feud in the middle of the streets, this means that there has been a rivalry between 2 groups for a long time and this also shows that Verona’s citizens have a lot to do with the Montagues and Capulets because of their reactions.

Leonardo DiCaprio suited his role of Romeo Montague because he easily managed to relate to Romeo as a character because Romeo is a young character in Shakespeare’s original play and at the time when the movie was made, Leonardo was young, making it easier for him to portray Romeo. Juliet Capulet, who was played by Clair Danes, was portrayed very successfully because Claire Danes was still pretty young at this point and all she had to do was act like a love-struck teenager. Juliet had never been in love and Romeo ached to be loved. Leonardo and Claire had to specifically use their emotions to capture their characters because they both had to display a variety of emotions in order for the audience to fully relate to the film.
