‘Romeo and Juliet’ is a tale about two individuals who fall in love at a party. The major idea of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is how love and hate are linked. The Montagues and the Capulets are opposing, rival families, who have a long-standing feud. It is only when Romeo and Juliet die that they realise that their feud was futile and that they could have lived side by side in ‘fair’ Verona. Over 400 years after the play was written, 31 films and musical adaptations have been made which makes Shakespeare’s play popular even today. At the moment in time we enter the scene, in Act 1, Scene 5, Romeo is in love with Roseline (who we never meet) and Juliet is about to meet her husband-to-be.
