Theme: Love is worth the Sacrifice
      A theme that is still applicable to today's society from Romeo and Juliet would be the theme of Love is the worth the sacrifice. In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet took the chance of lying to her family, acting dead, being buried alive all so she could be with Romeo because she truly loved him. Also Romeo who thought Juliet was dead took his life just to be with her. They both took strong sacrafices to be with one another. The did everything in their power so that they could stay together no matter what. They didn't worry about the people around them and what they were doing. As long as they could be together that's all they wanted. Of course in today's society it is not that big of as a crifice that people will make but some people who really do love their partner, will drop family, friends, town, jobs, etc. Just to stay with them. They love someone so much they will drop everything just to be with them. Some people have such a strong bond that love really is worth it to them and over the years that theme has never been dropped. Back in the 1500's people did everything they could to be with the one they love and they still continue to do it now so I am sure it will continue for years to come as long as the love that people have is a strong enough connection.
