Are Romeo and Juliet victims of a hate-filled world?Discuss.

One
could argue thatare victims of a hate-filled society, where their families are involved in a
longstanding feud that has spanned the course of generations and influenced their decision to
secretly get married. The Capulet and Montague families are engaged in a bitter, violent feud,
which has disturbed the peaceful Verona streets three times. At the beginning of the play,
Prince Escalus issues a decree that if any member of either the Capulet or Montague family
disturbs the peace again, they will be executed.

The two lovers understand
the serious nature of the family feud and are forced to marry in secret at 's cell.ends up
killingas a result of the family feud, which promptsto murder him. Romeo's exile is connected to
the feud and his absence leads to Friar Laurence's desperate plan, which involvestaking a strong
sleeping potion to avoid marryingwhile simultaneously informing Romeo of their plan. Tragically,
miscommunication and misunderstanding influence Romeo to commit suicide before Juliet wakes up
in the Capulet tomb. One could argue that the fierce, violent family feud embodies the
hate-filled world Romeo and Juliet inhabit and directly influences their secret marriage as well
as the unpleasant experiences they endure, which lead to their tragic deaths. If the Capulet and
Montague family feud did not exist, Romeo and Juliet may have experienced a promising, content
life together.
