"O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" -Juliet II, ii Juliet is asking Romeo why he has to be a Montague because she loves him, but her family would never let her marry him. She tells him to ignore that they belong to two different families, and to also ignore that her father would never allow them to marry. When Juliet says this, she is telling Romeo that she loves him and wants to spend her life with him. Now that she has said this, they will both deep pushing and continuing with their growing love. If she wouldn't have said this, they might not have ever known that they had these strong feelings; it was a very significant quote. Today, this can be seen when teenagers like each other, but they have the 'no dating rule'. The two people will find ways to see each other even though their families say that they aren't allowed. They will continue this until they are allowed to date, get caught, or their love dies out. You see this happen very often with teenagers now.



Act III media type="custom" key="9366180" align="center" width="180" height="180"

“A plague a’ both your houses!” - Mercutio III, i

Mercutio said this right after Tybalt stabbed him with his sword. Mercutio is angry with Tybalt for stabbing him and furious at Romeo for being in his way during the fight. Mercutio knows that he is going to die and is blaming Romeo, so he curses Romeo’s house and Tybalt’s house (Montagues and Capulets). This foreshadows what will happen to Romeo and Juliet later in the story; they will both have misfortune. It is understandable that Mercutio is angry with Romeo, but he doesn’t realize or care that his words will actually take affect on them. In today’s terms (and on a lower level) people will become angry at each other and say things they don’t mean. They might ruin a relationship, cause damage that shouldn’t have been done, or hurt themselves. Although people might be angry and frustrated, they shouldn’t go off and say things without thinking.
