About This Quote

Unless you know Juliet and Romeo personally, you don't know the real reason why they had to die. They were in love, but that's not what caused their deaths. Their true love story is about a marriage that was doomed from the beginning because of families. They were from different families, but they were both from the Montague family.

The Montagues hated the Capulets and seemed determined to make sure that Juliet and Romeo would never marry. In fact, they did all they could to keep them apart, including arranging a marriage for Juliet with Paris, one of their enemies.
