In William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet", about two love struck teenagers whom aren't able to be together due to their families feud/ social situation. There is two key themes that of love and hate. Before Romeo and Juliet meet, the audience is only aware that he is a Montague and that she is a Capulet. This adds to the scene being so dramatically effective as do other happenings throughout the length of the scene. These include the speech of Capulet and the happy and joyous mood of the party, The romantic speech of Romeo, The hatred and harshness of Tybalt's speech, a direct contrast with that of Romeo's and the drama when the two lovers, Romeo and Juliet first meet.
