The prologue tells us that the play is about two star-crossed lovers from two feuding families, the Montagues and Capulets.

In the tragic play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, numerous instances of relationships are seen throughout the course of this play. Lord Capulet, Juliet’s father, has a weak and difficult relationship with his daughter. This difficult relationship is not visible until Lord Capulet learns of Juliet’s love for Romeo. Lord Capulet transforms from a loving and protective character to an abusive and commanding character. This dramatic shift of behavior is caused in part by Juliet’s obsessive-like love for Romeo. Romeo thrusts Juliet into a whirlwind of passion and desire causing Juliet’s impulsive actions that in turn angers her father. Lord Capulet’s change in demeanor to that of abuse and dominance is in response to the change in obedience and conduct of Juliet.

Love, in 'Romeo and Juliet' has its own importance in the theme of inner struggle between the two protagonists, Romeo and Juliet. Juliet is torn between staying loyal to her family and therefore obeying her parents to marry Paris or staying married to an enemy, Romeo, “My husband lives, that Tybalt has slain; / And Tybalt's dad, that would have slain my husband: / All this is comfort; wherefore weep I then?” (3:2). On the other hand, Romeo has his struggles too. He juggles between the idea of banishment from Verona and not being able to see his beloved Juliet again and that of death, “Ha, banishment? Be merciful, say 'death'.” (3:3). The secret marriage between Romeo and Juliet is also one of the outcomes due to love. It is because of love that Juliet risked her parents' disapproval to not marry Paris and Romeo risked the danger of being killed by Capulet's kinsmen to go to see her. Yet again, this shows the inner struggle of Romeo and Juliet.

Three different types of love are depicted: the infatuation of Romeo, the son and heir of Montague, with a woman named Rosaline; the arranged love between Juliet, the daughter of Capulet, and Paris, a kinsman of Prince Escalus, whom Juliet’s parents have chosen to be her suitor; and ultimately, the true love between Romeo and Juliet, whose families are each other’s worst and greatest enemies.
