In this play two young people fall in love at first sight. Romeo falls in love with Juliet and belong to opposite sides of opposing families. They don't realize that until a little after they start seeing each other. When they do find out they put it to the side and kept their love intact.
They fall in love very quickly which is unusual nowadays. There families are at war with each other and Romeo wants to marry Juliet but cannot. In the end Juliet takes a love potion and falls asleep or a temporary death and when Romeo thinks she died he goes into deep depression and decides to kill himself to meet Juliet on the other side. He takes poison at the same time that Juliet wakes up from a fake death and Romeo consumes his death. Juliet realized he killed himself just for her, for the love they shared with each other.
In my opinion love is very powerful and can change a person greatly. When Romeo and Juliet saw each other for the first time they fell in love. In current time that probability is less likely. People fall in love through talking, going out places learning from each other and taking a liking to each other. Once that couple becomes more fond of the relationship they "love" one another. Theatre and this specific play can show us that the world is outgoing and surprisingly interesting. It shows us how strong love can really be and the depths of a person and the willingness to show that love to their partner. Love is a great feeling and also a hurtful feeling that has no true definition.
