1 Pages 302 Words

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....
