The theme "forbidden love can overcome all obstacles" is one that is frequently associated with "Romeo and Juliet." Shakespeare's play is the quintessential story of two star-crossed lovers whose relationship is forbidden due to a long-standing feud between their families, the Montagues and the Capulets. Their love is so strong that they are willing to do whatever it takes to be together, regardless of the consequences or societal constraints. However, it is important to note that while their love is powerful and does momentarily bridge the gap between their feuding families, the play tragically ends with the lovers' deaths – which eventually leads to reconciliation between the Montagues and the Capulets. While the characters believe that their love can overcome all, the finish serves as a reminder of the high cost of such conflict.
