For someone to say that Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is solitarily about love or hate is completely wrong. This play was clearly designed to express love and hate, which are two words on opposite ends of the literary world. This play takes two such opposites and uses them to clash and thrive off each other at the same time. The two main families are at war with each other and hate each other with a passion. The two families, Capulet and Montague have hated each other for generations. They have never come to agree with anything, and it seems like Verona is not big enough for the both of them. Will love over come hate in Verona, or will the two families be forever cursed with this hate?.
Love and hate directly tie into the story of Romeo and Juliet for many reasons. You have two well-respected wealthy families who are urged and allegedly born into a strong hatred that seems unbreakable. No Capulet nor any Montague can fathom in their wildest occurrence that it is possible for one of their own to love each other. How are they to react at the situation at hand; or do they ever find out? Eventually both families will recognize the situation between the two lovers. Will their young love persevere throughout trial, or will it be exposed as phony.
To hate or not to hate is the question the Capulets and Montagues are faced with but so easily come up with a decisive answer. Abram and Sampson brightly illustrate the vivid hate that they have towards one another in a downtown marketplace by having a verbal quarrel. Instances like this happen periodically throughout the play between the two families. The majority of the disputes were verbal rather than physical, but they do occasionally lead to someone getting hurt and possibly death. In fact, Romeo ends the life the a Capulet Tybalt in the action of self-defense. If someone has a conflict with another individual on the same social class as them, they would request a duel with that person.
