Romeo and Juliet Plot, Theme, Character, Setting, Conflict
Exposition
“Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona where we lay our scene, From acnient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean, From forth the fatal loins of these two foes, A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life. The fearful passage of their death marked love and continuance of their parents’ rage which led to their children’s deaths.” Conflict
Romeo and Juliet are lovers whose lives are ruined by a conflict that has been going on between their families, the Montagues and the Capulets, for many years. In this respect the play resembles an epic in which the lives of relatively powerless humans are affected by the clash of powerul forces, such as the war between the Greeks and Trojans in Homer’s Iliad Neither Romeo nor Juliet can be called the protagonist or antagonist in Shakespeare’s play. The heads of their families are the protagonist and antagonist, and it would seem that the head of the Capulet family (Juliet’s) would be considered the protagonist and the other the antagonist, because the Capulet’s cause the problem by trying to force their daughter to marry Paris.
