UConnections Report For my report I chose the connection of love in hardship. I chose this connection because I believe it is important to love and care for people even when it feels like you can't or that you shouldn’t.

Romeo and Juliet felt so deeply for each other and knew they would do anything to be with one another and they took risks like starting war to be together. This shows just how strong their love was. I believe Williams Shakespeare's purpose was to promote the fact that you can't help who you love and that your first love is a very special one. Even though they did die, the relationship between Romeo and Juliet has helped me understand of how difficult love is and especially how hard it is when you are forbidden to be together.
