There are many tragedies to Romeo and Juliet. The obvious one, being the death of them both, at the end of the film.
However, there are more. Another of the main tragedies is the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets.
I will recount the story and then point out the tragedies.
Romeo and Juliet meet at a party, at Juliet’s house, and fall in love at first sight.
But, because of their feuding families, they have no other choice but to keep their love for each other a secret.
Romeo tells friar Lawrence that before he met Juliet he hadn’t felt true love, and asks him to marry them…behind their parents’ backs.
Romeo’s mother is worried about her sun because when he is home he closes all of the windows and curtains and makes himself an artificial light; I think she is worried that her son is becoming depressed because the girl that he likes, Rosalyn, has been teasing him. Benvolio tries to talk to his cousin Romeo and asks him about love.
Later on that night......
