Romeo and Juliet had a pure, true love. Throughout the play, Shakespeare gives evidence of the vehement devotion they have for each other. For instance, their love is evident in that each is willing to love the other without regard for the consequences, and both Romeo and Juliet love each other more than they love themselves. This form of love is worth any sacrifice. Furthermore, their love and subsequent death brought peace to Verona, however tragically it came about. The love they had was worth any sacrifice, including their lives. Ironically, Romeo and Juliet were not able to fully enjoy their love when they were alive; only in death were they truly united.

Their true love was worth their lives, as Romeo puts it, "Let me be ta'en, let me be put to death: I am content, so thou wilt have it so."
In the end of the play, the feud between the...
