    However, in spite of the many differences, there are similarities between the two stories. Romeo and Juliet and “Teen Couple Executed by their Parents…for daring to fall in love,” both involve the deaths of the couples all happening at a young age, all of them dying before the age of 19 before any of their parents died. Throughout both stories a common factor is that the couples were forced to make adult decisions about their lives and love lives; while, the adults around them were making many poor decisions. Unlike many love stories where the strong, handsome male saves the damsel in distress, the female protagonists in both of these stories appeared to be stronger than their male counterparts. Maybe that is why when the time came, both mothers…

    The Friar only married, both Capulet and Montague for the sake of peace, to bring the terrible feuding between both houses to a screeching halt, but of course, his holy intentions backfires and it is a price that was never meant to be paid. As the Friar stands by the altar, he says; “ So smile the heavens upon this holy act. That the after-hours chide us not.” This show that the Friar knows that the young couple is not supposed to be married, but in hopes of the end of the Houses’ unending quarrels, the Friar marries them, and hopes no misfortune falls on the couple. Friar Lawrence is responsible for the star-crossed lovers’ deaths because he did not think things through, and he encouraged their deaths when he, against better judgement, weds them and keeps their marriage a secret. This also leads to the fault of the young and fair maiden, Juliet.…

    In Act 1 scene 2, a Capulet servant is walking along the streets of Verona trying to hand out invitations to a party. The only problem with this is the servant can't read (coincidence?). He runs into Romeo and Benvolio who just happened to be on the street that the time. They read the list for him and decide to go to the party that the Capulets are throwing where Romeo first sees Juliet. This is fate because if the servant had run into any other person on the streets of Verona, Romeo would never even know about the Capulet party. Benvolio told Romeo to "Go thither and with untainned eye compare her face with some that I shall show". He wants Romeo to go look for someone at the party to get over his first love Rosaline. This is a bad thing for them since when Romeo and Juliet meet they don't know they are enemies.…
