Throughout the book Romeo and Juliet, the relationship between parent and child
was very distinct. In Romeo and Juliet’s case, they both become rebellious after
encountering one another. Before seeing Romeo, Juliet was a very cooperate girl that
always listened to her mother. Even Romeo who was even a little rebellious before
encountering Juliet developed actual unruliness once he experienced true love. The main
reason why the couple was rebellious was because the two shared each other’s love
regardless of the feud that was taking place between their two families. Even after Romeo
murdered Tybalt, he did not just leave the town, but risked his life in order to say a final
farewell to his one true love. This showed that even a feud between two families could
not separate the couple from each other’s site, showing what true love really means. But
the fact that their parents prohibited their children to date created a lot of problems for the
two. It was because of their parent’s restrictions that the two killed themselves in the end.
It’s like they always say, “All great things must come to an end.” “But how did it end up
where two lovers find themselves in the middle of a family feud, and that that very love
was what killed them in the end?” you might ask. Well, I believe it all comes down to two
words that can never be defined no matter how hard to try, love and fate.
Romeo and Juliet were both very rebellious children. Even though the feud that
was occurring between the two families might have not been the smartest thing that was

going on at the time, it was still considered an act of rebellion that the two were meeting
with each other in secret. But it was not completely Romeo and Juliet’s fault for acting
rebellious. For the first time in his life, Romeo experienced true love which is something
no man can be separated from. And for the first time in Juliet’s days, she finally found the
perfect man that would devote his life to her needs. It was not their fault the two ended up
in a feud between their two families, so why should they be taken apart by something
they were born into? In the end, the purpose of prohibiting the kids to date at such a
young age backfired. The restriction did not protect the kids from learning mature
concepts at such a young age, but rather killed the couple in the end. Once again, it is
love that brought the two together and fate that lead to the demise of a young and happy
The overall story of the book Romeo and Juliet went very quick. Romeo and
Juliet first met at the ballroom party. Two days after first encountering one another, the
couple gets married. Soon after their marriage, the two have a suicidal impulse, and kill
each other after a horrible turn of events. For much of the time, Romeo and Juliet very
much experienced young love. Young love is timid, the two involved are often rebellious
in order to obtain what they want, and normally the couple doesn’t establish a bond as
strong as an adult couple would. Yet at the same time, the love Romeo and Juliet
experienced was not young love at all, but something far more mature than their age.
Young love didn’t include the risk of dying to see the other, nor did it include the need to
marry in secret. But never would young love require you to go so far as to take your own
life in order to continue living with your love in the afterlife. Shakespeare shares my
same belief that always with a high comes a low, and he connects his belief with the

theme of love. I believe that the young couple loved each other so much, that even the
In conclusion, it was the very love that kept the two together that sealed their fate.
They would be together eternally in the heavens, but at the cost of their own lives. This is
the power of fate and the effects love has upon it. It is because of love that the two
became rebellious towards their family and it was love that helped them put the
differences of their families aside and focus on what truly mattered. It was fate that the
two found each other, and it was fate that ended their lives. You see, the two are closely
tied, and they were what took apart the young couple. It like they say, “All great things
