Personal Response to Romeo&Juliet

This is my first time completing the story of Romeo&Juliet.In the beginning, I just thought that they both died because of each other without a reason, I didn’t know that there was a strong social background of family opposition behind their love story.When I first read the book, then watched the movie and recited the prologue of their story, I had a strong feeling of sadness with this love story among with pure and beauty between Romeo&Juliet.Even though their families hate each other,It didn’t affect their relationship.Despite the family hate and challenges,they still have ways to be together. Romeo did many things to express his love and care for Juliet. He bravely overcame many difficulties and obstacles for the continuance of their love. As for Juliet, she showed her courage when she refused to marry Paris. They both overcame a lot of difficult challenge, especially with the opposing family and did a lot of things for each other. It also showed the story of the rivalry of their family which are the Capulets and he Montagues.The hatred of rivalries between these two families indirectly led to a tragedy where Romeo&Juliet both died in the end.I love how Shakespeare  describe the conflict between two families because they gives me a picture in my head. I agreed with the prolugue where it says

“A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life;

whose misadventur’d piteous overthrows.“

Because of how they continue their love with all the challenges that were in their way but what they got was a tragic ending.
