Why did Romeo go to the party even though he knows that Juliet is a Capulet?

Romeo wanted to get a chance to see Rosaline who he knew was going to the party after accidentally reading the guestlist. He estimated that he would not get into too much trouble for crashing the party and he was right. After all, he and his Montague buddies were going to keep a low profile and behave themselves, since they were not interested in fighting with Capulets. The Capulets weren't much interested in fighting with them either, as Capulet shows even after he knows Romeo is there. He says to Tybalt that Romeo is supposed to be a nice young man and he certainly looks like one and he's causing no trouble and why doesn't Tybalt take a cold shower or something?
Part of what's interesting about the Capulet-Montague feud is how little most of the parties want to perpetuate it. Sure they keep on talking the talk--even Juliet calls Montague "my only hate" even though she's never met a Montague. But when push comes to shove, it's people like Tybalt (who is not a Capulet; his aunt married one) and the servants like Abram and Samson who want to fight and the real Capulets and Montagues get sucked into it.

∙ 7y ago1. Romeo didn't know anything about Juliet when he went to the party. Juliet was not a factor in whether or not he went.2. Even if he had known about Juliet he would still have gone. His main reason for going to the party was that he was infatuated with Rosaline, who was Juliet's cousin and a Capulet too. That didn't make any difference to Romeo. Romeo never gave two hoots for the feud.

Romeo and Juliet before they meet?
Romeo is well-known around Verona - even Old Capulet has heard of him (as we find out in the argument Old Capulet has with Tybalt in the Ball scene). But Romeo has never seen Juliet before he meets her at Old Capulet's ball. This is surprising in a town as small as Verona. Perhaps Old Capulet has kept Juliet at home most of the time. This would make sense: she is his only surviving child, and she seems very naive in the ways of the world until she meets Romeo. (When Lady Capulet asks her if she wants to marry Paris, Juliet seems not to have given the matter much thought). But once Juliet has chosen Romeo she does everything she can so that they can be married without a moment's hesitation. Juliet grows up fast, and - like most of Shakespeare's heroines - she knows what she wants.

In Romeo And Juliet, Romeo is sad because he cannot be with his true love - Juliet. Romeo and Juliet's families have argued for years, no one knows the true reason because it was such long ago they started. It was basically unheard of for a Capulet(Juliet's family) and a Montauge (Romeo's family). But their love was so strong that they fought for it. Juliet drank a liquid that made her look dead. A note would be sent out to tell Romeo to look in the Capulet tomb so Romeo And Juliet can run off together. Romeo truly thought Juliet was dead. He drank a dagger and killed himself in the tomb. As Juliet awoke, she saw her love dead. So she also killed herself. -If you are talking about the begining, it is because he couldn't be with roseline, but then he got over it when he saw juliet.
