Prince Escalus said this line in Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. He is addressing the feuding families, the Montagues and Capulets, and trying to restore order in Verona.
"Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Profaners of this neighbour-stained steel-- Will they not hear?"
Enemies.
No, I wouldn't say they were. Juliet did defy her father by her marriage to Romeo, but that wasn't rebellious as we know it today. It was normal for young women to have arranged marriages to older men, but if there hadn't been a feud with Romeo's family her father may had consented to a marriage.
Montague and Capulet.
Romeo is a member of the Montague family, which are enemies with Juliet's family (Capulets)
Yes, Romeo and Juliet can be seen as rebellious in a modern sense. They defy the norms and expectations of their feuding families to be together, risking everything for their love. Their actions can be interpreted as an act of rebellion against societal constraints and family authority.
Juliet, the heroine of William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, was surnamed Capulet. The Capulet family of Verona were the sworn enemies of the Montague family to which Romeo belonged. An easy way to remember it is that "Juliet" rhymes with "Capulet".
Juliet asks, "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art though Romeo?" This translated into modern English means" Romeo, why are you who you are?" , referring to the fact that he was born to the family of her parent's arch enemies.
he was a blackniggaman, that's why there was problems with him banging Juliet But seriously: Romeo was a white European, as were Juliet and all the main characters in Romeo and Juliet. (Offhand I can't think of a non-white character in Romeo and Juliet) The problem was that Juliet and Romeo belonged respectively to the two main noble families in Verona, which were deadly enemies.
Juliet is surprised at Romeo's presence because she does not expect to see him at her family's party, as their families are long-time enemies. Their unexpected encounter creates tension and excitement in the play "Romeo and Juliet."
Romeo is Juliet's lover. He is, as is obvious, one of the two main characters of the story. The basic storyline goes that Romeo and Juliet's families are enemies, but Romeo and Juliet fall in love, get married secretly, then Romeo gets exiled because he killed Juliet's cousin, then Juliet wants to be with him so she fakes her death, but Romeo doesn't get told it's fake and rushes back to where they live, and they both die.
