This tragic play is written by William Shakespeare, in the 16th century and this beautifully demonstrates how people of the opposite sex act towards each other. The strong character-Romeo is part of the Montague family, willing to fight for his family and the people he loves.

Juliet is incredibly anxious and eager to get married to Romeo even though she knows her family could never accept him into the family. This shows the strong bond they had and stuck by each other.
