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.
