Names play an important role in Romeo and Juliet, as names are what define the sides of the feuding families within the play.

Through comic books, the underlying story of the two lovers can take the main stage without altering the intended message of the dangers of civil brawls and misunderstood hate.

Although upfront it just seems like they are just ensuring they are not being inconvenienced by their father, Goneril 's letter to her sister (something to remember as the initial letter is taken with good faith as opposed to the letter between Goneril and Edmund which causes anxiety for Regan) shows the lack of good will the sister 's gave.
