Capulet avers this due to his own personal experiences, as well as those of the time he lives in.

This is shown through the contrast in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and Taylor Swift’s Love Story by the use of literary devices and their vastly different structures to express the theme of love. In Romeo and Juliet, imagery was used far more to convey the love that the protagonists felt for each other while in Taylor Swift’s Love Story, repetition was more commonly employed. “It’s a love story, baby just say ‘YES’”…

    Romeo is more dedicated to his love interest than he is to honor; he fell in love with the daughter of his family’s enemy, he continued to pursue the relationship after he knew her origins, and ultimately he killed himself because of his love for Juliet.

Trying to have a relationship with the daughter of his family’s enemy could only be seen as dishonorable in the eyes of Romeo’s own family.…
