The young couple faces many challenges in trying to keep their forbidden romance to only the few they can trust with their lives.Until they come across problems in their town which leads to devastating decisions that end both of their lives as both Romeo and Juliet thought it was the only answer to escape the hatred between the families.This is where one of many themes comes in from the play. That theme being People should not have everlasting hatred towards other people. Romeo & Juliet was a classic love story that turns sour because of the Capulet and Montague feud as people will be shown from my evidence in Act 1, Act 3, and Act 5.
