Shakespeare is a famous writer who wrote many famous plays, probably
his most famous being Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is about a
couple who fall in love and get married, despite their families feud
which has been going on for generations. Shakespeare cleverly didn't
write what the feud was about, because it helps get his theme of
unresolved conflict leads to tragedy across. Shakespeare also uses
fate as a theme and gets this across by writing that fate conspires
against them; 'star-crossed lovers.' This fate conspires so much
against Romeo and Juliet that it is unrealistic to a modern day
(contemporary) audience, but in a Shakespearean audience it didn't
matter because as long as it was entertaining it was accepted. This
essay is about the reaction of a Shakespearean audience and a
contemporary audience would have towards Romeo throughout the play.
