In William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, about two love struck teenagers whom aren’t able to be together due to their families feud/ social situation. There are two key themes that of love and hate. Before Romeo and Juliet meet, the audience is only aware that he is a Montague and that she is a Capulet.

These include the speech of Capulet and the happy and joyous mood of the party, The romantic speech of Romeo, The hatred and harshness of Tybalt’s speech, a direct contrast with that of Romeo’s and the drama when the two lovers, Romeo and Juliet first meet.

At the party, Romeo insists not to dance with anyone,”A torch for me. Let wantons light to heart/[...] I’ll be a candle holder and look on;/ The game was ne’er so fair, and I am done” (1.4.35-39).

Here, Romeo’s praising becomes even more passionate as they both exchange words of love. “But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?/ It is the East, and Juliet is the sun” (2.2.2-3).
