“If you do not love me, I shall not be loved. If I do not love you, I shall not love” was said in the poem called, “Cascando” by Samuel Beckett. He wrote this about a girl, who didn’t love him like he loved her. Teenage true love doesn’t exist.

If Romeo would tell Juliet that he was a Montague, it would show that it doesn’t matter what family he’s from, people should be able to date whoever pleases them. Clearly since Romeo questioned whether or not he should tell Juliet he is a Montague, they’re not in love due to the fact that he let the loathe between his and Juliet's family affect the
