Prejudice: The feuding
families in Romeo and Juliet create tension and conflict, not unlike
feuding cultures in today's society.
Families in the modern
day society when two people fall in love it tends to bring the family closer to
each other and give them time to get to know and explore each other’s family. The
love that Romeo and Juliet have although it came about very suddenly is not
like the way two people would usually fall in love in the modern society. The
conflict and tension that is shown by the two families does not give them the
chance to experience the real love between Romeo and Juliet, as they will never
want to be together. As Romeo and Juliet grow closer and begin to understand
how strong their love for each other is we begin to see the tension and conflict
between the two families grow. We see examples of how Juliet doesn’t feel as
close with her family as it becomes obvious that she hasn’t told her father
about the fact she will marry Romeo as her father has already set her up to
marry someone else. Juliet has a hard time trying to find a way to express this
to her father, as the two families do not get along very well. In the modern
day society families tend to connect and experience the true love that is occurring.
This is very different in the play of Romeo and Juliet.
