Is Love Enough?

William Shakespeare’s plays explore life and examine the human condition. In Romeo and Juliet, we witness the unraveling of two young lovers who have sacrificed everything to be together. Unfortunately their happiness does not last. Romeo has been exiled for killing Tybalt. In addition, Juliet’s parents are determined to see their young daughter marry Paris. The wedding has been scheduled to take place in three days’time. In spite of this, Friar Laurence believes that the Capulet and Montague families will end their long lasting feud through the love that Romeo and Juliet share. Can the love of two people mend generations of family conflict? Post your opinion.

  2. I don't think it will do a lot to the problem and their families would probably just kill their kids to solve the problem

  3. No, I don't believe that love could end a long-lasting feud. Love can't make their conflict disappear. (Jessica and Karissa)

  5. If two people love each other as much as they say they should not let anyone or anything try to get in between them . If they try to avoid things maybe there love can conquer anything if there in it together .

  6. No you can not because they both may not like something that the other person does may like so if they get that thing it might start a argument

  7. Love would not be enough for a truce. They basically have no feelings and they're selfish."love" would not change their minds.

  8. The feud between the families will end by the love of two different families that has a long lasting feud. Their love shows that they do not have to fight, they could be friends. Mercedes Angel

  9. Yes because the two family's become one huge one. They will learn to accept what the person wants and how they feel.one person can change every thing. They will do what ever it takes to make a person happy

  10. When two people love each other they shouldn't care what anyone else thinks. But when their families are enemy's and don't get along its more difficult. When two people who love each other have to hide it and end up dying because of it the families should realize how selfish there being and just end the feud because losing a family member is not worth it. And if they loved each other and the family loved them then they should support them and there happiness.

  28. Yes it can mend a conflict because love is stronger than hate in most cases like this one. Even if the families do not like relationship between the two they will have to see eye to eye any way because they love each other.

  29. The Two Gangs Montague's and Capulets are Never Going to Learn To love Eachother because They have Always hated Eachother from being in a diffrent gang.

  30. In my opinion only sometimes love of two people from two different families, when both families hate each other, can only mend the history of the two families together if something happens to the two people's love. So therefore sometimes it can mend the conflict of the two families

  31. Yes, because if the two families have there children that are deeply in love with each other and will do anything to be together no matter what there parents think , their parents will have to get over it eventually and accept the fact that their children are in love

  32. I believe that it can change the way people have conflicts and problems and unite the two family's if they look past their problems and look at the bright side.

  33. I believe it can change everything between the families. They could learn to let things go and learn to love and understand each other because of their son and daughter because they love each other.

  34. The two sides are just different groups who do not like each other. Just because two of their people love each other will not change anything.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Yes, because the families would get over the fighting and realize that their children are in love

  37. I think that the two families will never become friends or like Eachother. I think they end up killing Eachother.

    ReplyDelete

  42. Romeo doesn't really talk to his parents because he decides not to. And Juliet doesn't even have interaction with them she only talks to them when she is being command to do something she is forces to.
