In "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare, love has been shown to be the key factor of survival. It's what brought together Romeo and Juliet, and what continues to be a continuous factor in the play. Love is what helped keep the two star crossed lovers together, even though they were born into two very different families; the Capulet's and the Montagues which hate each other. When both had fallen in love, the names of each side didn't contribute to their relationship. Instead, the people who try to end their relationship, and have the love of Romeo and Juliet vanish, and those who try to push it forward, are the ones who make it stronger, and make both Juliet and Romeo more rebellious than ever before.

                        Juliet's father a Capulet, disapproves of her relationship with Romeo greatly. However, it's not that he doesn't approve of Romeo himself, he doesn't approve of Romeo belonging to the Montagues. Instead of keeping his daughter away from Romeo, without even realizing, he's actually helping her fall in love with him even more. Lord Capulet has already arranged Juliet's wedding with Paris. Everything is perfect, a big wedding to come, a happy-wealthy life, however Juliet is not interested in Paris. Even before Romeo's arrival the love between Juliet and Paris was very hard to see, and than when Romeo had come into the picture, Juliet was so eager to be with him and the relationship between her and Paris was fully gone and missing. After spending only several days with Romeo, Juliet had understood that Romeo was the man of her dreams, so she decided to come out to her father. In act 3 scene 5 lines 151-153 "Not proud you have, but thankful that you have. Proud can I never be of what I hate, But thankful even for hate that is meant love. " Juliet isn't being grateful of marrying Paris, so she decides to open up to her father. However, Lord Capulet doesn't want to hear such thing and in lines 166-171 " Hang thee, young baggage, disobedient wretch! I tell thee what; get thee to church o' Thursday, Or never after look me in the face. Speak not; reply not; do not answer me. My fingers itch. Wife, we scarce though us blessed." Lord Capulet obviously disagrees with Juliet's beliefs and wants her to only marry Paris. Even though, Juliet doesn't want to herself, that doesn't concern her father. The fact that Lord Capulet has made his daughter marry someone she doesn't please of, has made her even want to be with Romeo more. The thought of not being together is what later on caused Juliet to drink the vile, so she can fake her death and run away with her beloved Romeo. Not having her father's approval to not marry Paris, has only aggravated
 Juliet even more, and has made her love for Romeo and her want to be with him and only him a lot stronger.

                   Another character who has meant to bring hate to the Montagues, and destroy the love of romeo and Juliet is Tybalt. During the party scene Act 1 Scene 5, Tybalt complains about Romeo being invited to the party. Lines 61-67: "This, by the voice, should be a Montague. Fetch me my rapier boy. What, dares the slave come hither covered with an antic face to fleer and scorn at our solemnity? Now, by the stock and honor of my kin, to strike him dead I hold it not a sin." Tybalt very much hates any one who belongs to the Montagues, and wants each and every one to vanish. However, in Tybalt's case, it's not his hate for the Montagues that draws Juliet and Romeo closer, it's the fact that he dies. In Act 3, after Tybalt kills Mercutio in what was supposed to be a :play fight", Romeo loses it. Romeo is tired of being treated like a worthless human being, and having the ones dearest to him killed. Instead of talking it out with Tybalt, Romeo chases after him to kill him, and make him feel the pain he had done to Mercutio. Romeo accomplishes his task, and does kill Tybalt. When Tybalt's body has been found, it has been agreed that to serve the punishment Romeo deserves, he shall be banished. When Juliet hears about all that has occurred, she breaks into this "depressed stage". While everyone thinks Juliet cries a lot because her "favorite" uncle Tybalt had died, she actually cries for the sake of Romeo. She was praying, Romeo would be safe, and even though she couldn't believe Romeo had actually killed Tybalt she was too much in love with him to stay mad and be concerned. When Juliet has heard of Romeo's banishment, this is when Friar Lawrence and Juliet plan Juliet's fake death in order to have her and Rome be free, and for Romeo not to serve any punishment. In order to be together without feeling scared of someone stopping them, their only option is to run away. Tybalt's death had brought Romeo and Juliet closer, because now the only way for them to be together is to run away, and both are up for that because the love they share for each other is irresistible.

              Friar Lawrence tried to help Romeo and Juliet find their future together. As apart from Lord Capulet and Tybalt, Friar Lawrence was there to help. He wanted the two lovers to be able to stay together forever, without the need of feeling scared. In Act 2 scene 6 lines 35-37 " Come, come with me, and we will make short work, For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone Till Holy Church incorporate two in one.  Friar Lawrence helped marry Rome and Juliet. However, the Friar wasn't too sure about marrying the couple because Rome had just got over Rosaline, but the Friar Lawrence went ahead and still did it because he thought their marriage may end the feud between the two-family's. Having Juliet married has brought the two closer, because now the thought of having Paris as her "future" husband was gone. She wanted to be with Romeo, and only Romeo. In act 4 scene 1, Juliet confesses to Paris that she doesn't love him, and instead loves another man. In line 26 Juliet says "I will confess to you that I love him". As soon as Juliet had met Romeo, she knew Paris was not meant to be her future husband, instead it was Romeo who she wanted to marry. And with he help of Friar Lawrence, Juliet accomplished that.

         Juliet's and Romeo's relationship faced many consequences, but throughout all the drama all the hate and love helped improve their relationship. Lord Capulet's want for Juliet to marry Paris, Tybalt's death, and Friar Lawrence marrying them all played important roles in the book. All these factors helped contribute to their relationship and make it stronger, even though the majority of people did not approve of Romeo and Juliet.
