Shakespeare has a unique way of delivering messages to the audience. At times he makes it obvious and
sometimes he makes the audience think and look for it. This can be found in one of his most famous works:

the two houses had for each other. He was neither a Capulet nor a Montague but a third party who happened
to get caught up in everything. He wanted to cease the feuds between the two houses and bring peace to
