Why shouldn't Romeo and Juliet fall in love in Romeo and Juliet?

Answer 1

One thing: They DID get married!

But anyways, the reason is because the Montagues and Capulets were basically "at war" with each other. There were riots in town squares, tension boiling, and other acts of violence.

The Friar WANTED them to get married because he thought that if they did, the fighting would stop between the two families.

Answer 2

Romeo and Juliet shouldn't fall in love because their families, the Montagues and Capulets, have a long-standing feud that would make their relationship forbidden and dangerous. Additionally, their impulsive decision to marry quickly leads to tragic consequences for both themselves and those around them.

Answer 3

Isn't asking this question rather like asking, "Why should you not fall towards the earth if you fall out of a plane without a parachute?" Yes, you can answer that you shouldn't fall towards the earth because you could get hurt and die when you land, but it's not as if you have any choice in the matter. Neither did Romeo have any choice. "Should" doesn't enter into it.

Answer 4

That is because there is no way for them to have a relationship because their families don't get along. But actually, fate is fate and bad luck is bad luck. There are so many ways that, with a little luck, Romeo and Juliet could have been happily together and their families reconciled without further bloodshed. However, their fate is written in the stars as the prologue says.

Answer 5

Well because it's a love story they have no choice but to fall in love with each other really! There's no "should" to it.
