Furthermore‚ it is in order to strengthen the theme of forbidden love that Sater‚ once again chose to quote Shakespeare.

The Power and Passion of Love and Hate The themes of love and hate permeate Romeo and Juliet‚ and they are always connected to passion‚ whether that passion is beneficial or destructive.

Arts 18 March 2014 Romeo and Juliet Don’t fall in love as a teen; you might end up killing yourself.
