ROMEO AND JULIET

Romeo and Juliet 
Romeo and Juliet, is a story of two young lovers, whose love 
was destined for destruction. They did not imagine that their love 
would lead to the tragedies that it did. These two young people did 
nothing wrong except fall in love. Three aspects of their destruction 
included the feud between the two families, the nurse and her betrayal 
of Juliet and the most important aspect of all is fate.
The feud between the two families was one factor that 
contributed to the love of Romeo and Juliet being destined for 
destruction. From ancient grudge break to new mutiny. (Romeo & 
Juliet, Prologue, pg.2 l.3) The two families, Montagues and Capulets, 
had many problems. There was hate between the two families so much so 
that even the servants hated each other. This feud would have caused 
many problems for Romeo and Juliet: These two young lovers knew this 
and this is why they kept their marriage a secret. If their parents 
discovered their secret, they would have made their children's lives 
miserable. Romeo and Juliet would not have been able to see each 
other. Both of these families were very stubborn and there was hardly 
any thing that would have made them become friends. In the prologue 
we learn that the only way the strife could be ended was by the 
deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Doth with their death bury their 
parent's strife. (Romeo & Juliet, Prologue, l.8) Neither the 
Montagues or the Capulets would have accepted the marriage. Keeping 
the marriage a secret caused Romeo and Juliet to turn to other people 
for help. Sometimes these people gave them the wrong advice or just 
betrayed them. 
The Nurse was one of these characters who betrayed the young 
couple. The Nurse who was also Juliet's friend turned against her at 
a very crucial time. The Nurse told Juliet that it would be best if 
she married Paris. I think it best you married with the county. 
(Romeo & Juliet, pg.101, III, v, l.219) This betrayal by the Nurse 
left Juliet alone. She was a wise young woman but it still would have 
been beneficial for her to have the help of the Nurse. Juliet was 
left on her own to make some very important decisions. I believe that 
if the Nurse had been around to help Juliet things may have turned out 
differently. Juliet
