"From the fatal loins of these two enemies, a pair of star-crossed lovers takes their own lives." (Shakespeare) Forbidden love and tragedy are evident in the important play of Romeo and Juliet, but this play is different from all of William Shakespeare's other plays. The distinction between protagonist characters and antagonist characters in his other works is not as clear compared to the young lovebirds' play Romeo and Juliet. The two main characters are protagonists, while there are very few antagonists present. The individuals who could be considered antagonists in the play would be the two families who hate and antagonize: the Capulets and the Montagues. Juliet was of the Capulets and Romeo of the Montagues. Due to the strong hatred between the two families, both in Juliet and in Romeo, as well as in the other characters, selfishness and naive attitudes are manifested. One character who specifically represented this was Romeo when he swore his love to Juliet outside the balcony of his house. This type of action was sweet, but at the same time very risky and could have consequences. According to “Love, Death and Fortune: Central Concepts in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet” the concept of love “is a diverse and complex phenomenon”. Romeo and Juliet demonstrated their love through words, sacrifices, and even death for each other. Wherever one of them went, the other followed, for they longed for each other like a child longs for candy. Indeed, they were children, not only physically, but also mentally. The brain of an adult human does not fully develop until the age of 25. A person has a lot to experience in life and learn from mistakes, which is why 25 seems like a reasonable age. At ages 13 and 16, young adolescents are not fully mature, educated, or capable of making good decisions. It's simply a fact. They may, in fact, find attraction in a person and have a strong desire, but how do you know that it is true love. Love can clearly be confused with infatuation, which is an intense admiration for someone or something. Shakespeare is teaching his readers that young love is real or simply something not to be accepted?
