Romeo and Juliet is the story of two young lovers, whose love was destined for destruction. They could never have imagined that their love would lead to the tragedies that befell them. These two young men had done nothing wrong, unless it is wrong to fall in love with a person whose family is at war with your own. Three aspects of the destruction of Romeo and his lovely Juliet included: the feud between the two families, the nurse and Juliet's betrayal by her, and the most important aspect of all, fate. The feud between the two families was a contributing factor to Romeo and Juliet's love doomed to destruction. "From the ancient breaking of rancor to the new mutiny" (Prologue.3). The two families, Montague and Capulet, had many problems. There was hatred between the two families, so much so that even the servants hated each other. This feud would have caused quite a few problems for Romeo and Juliet. These two young lovers knew this and that's why they didn't reveal their marriage. If their parents found out their secret, they would make their children's lives miserable and Romeo and Juliet would not be allowed to see each other. Both of these families were very stubborn and there was probably nothing that would make them become friends. In the prologue we learn that the only way to end the "conflict" was for Romeo and Juliet to die. “With their death they bury their parents' conflict” (Prologue.8). Neither the Montagues nor the Capulets would accept the marriage. Therefore, keeping it a secret, Romeo and Juliet turned to other people for help, and sometimes these people gave them bad advice or simply betrayed them. The Nurse was one such character who betrayed the young couple. The Nurse, who had been Juliet's friend, turned against her at a crucial moment and told Juliet that it would be better if she married Paris. “I think it is better for you to marry the earldom” (III.v.230). This betrayal by the Nurse left Juliet alone. She was a wise young woman, but it would still be useful for her to have the Nurse's help. Juliet was left alone to make some very important decisions. I believe that if the Nurse had been there to help Juliet, things would have been different.
