Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet is a tragic play written by William Shakespeare, who demonstrates how one couples love, fate and destiny can over power the feud between the Montague and the Caplets. The play opens up with the servants of the Montague and Capulet families quarreling and fighting in the streets of Verona, Italy. The two families have been through many battles and share a huge amount of hatred for one another. As the play goes on, Romeo finds out that his love Juliet feels the same love and passion that he shares and feels that he needs to express it immediately. Romeo is a character who I can relate to because of his eagerness to never give up and his passion that he holds for his fellow Montague’s and he strive to always do his best. During life, I was faced upon a time when I really had true deep feelings for a girl and my parents felt different. I was 16 years old boy at the time and was in love with my parents family friend who 19 years of age. My parents forbid for me to go out with her, and wouldn’t even let me talk to her. I was furious with my parent’s decision and had no choice but to not listen to them and to pursuit my feelings. I later on disobeyed my parents by sneaking out of the house and later on left through my back door, but got caught later on by my parents and had to explain to them how I felt for Jamie. My parents later understood my feelings for Jamie and let me see her from there on out. My life experiences can best relate to the character of Romeo. Romeo is young man who is deeply in love and doesn’t let his fears overpower his emotions. I took a stand against my parents just as Romeo did and decided that I wasn’t going to let my parents take away something that made me happy.
