Romeo and Juliet is a romantic heart throbbing play which includes lust, hate and more.
Both Romeo and Juliet come from high set family’s meaning they are rich and well off. Their families are enemies’ meaning Romeo and Juliet’s love is forbidden. Stuck with their problems Romeo and Juliet ‘start crossed lovers’ try to make their love as true and real as they can.
Once read the scripts and seen the films there isn’t much parent to child apart from scene when Juliet is with her mother. SCENE III. A room in Capulet's house

When Juliet meets Romeo and they plan a wedding notice that Juliet would rather tell her nurse than her mother. When Juliet asks her nurse to tell Romeo news of herself and such the nurse does it.

However, when Juliet’s mother tries to talk to Juliet, Juliet seems to need to hold back and not tell her things. So it shows that it’s not always the parents. Juliet is never with her father in the play apart from when her and her father argue as he has arranged her marriage with Paris but she is not satisfied with being with Paris as it is Romeo whom she...
