Friar Lawrence is the easiest place to start - he hides the wedding from their families in the hope that this will 'turn your households rancour into pure love' - think about his job as a (catholic) priest - he should be trying to bring the families together as soon as possible and not enabling the children (Juliet is only 13) to go behind their parent's backs. Once again he shows himself in the guise of a deceiver by proposing the sleeping potion in order to fake Juliet's death - surely he would have done better to go and tell the families of the marriage then?\n\nRomeo marries Juliet days after being spurned by another girl - Rosaline - scientists now suggest it takes a year t fall in love with someone so surely he is just marrying Juliet out of lust.\n\nBoth Romeo and Juliet allow themselves to be controlled by others - Shakespeare in the opening chous refers to them as star crossed - suggesting they are controlled by fate but then is that what you expect from a hero and heroine? Our hero's are people who we admire for their strength and courage - do Romeo and Juliet's actions fit with this?\n\nPerhaps the central flaw is` that the characters allow themselves to be controlled by others - just as Shakespeare himself was controlled by his patrons.

Here's an analysis of it, and also a modern day English version.  I hope it helps.\n\nI like Shakespeare's work, but I understand how anyone can have difficulty with it.

Clever typo: The more money you got, the better lawyers you can get & thus possibly get a lesser charge in court.  At least that's what it appears like seeing the news & watching Law & Order episodes... (I don't have any personal experience to this).\n\nSome quotes to ponder:\nJustice is incidental to law and order.  ~John Edgar Hoover\n\nWhen you go into court you are putting your fate into the hands of twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.  ~Norm Crosby\n\nAlthough the legal and ethical definitions of right are the antithesis of each other, most writers use them as synonyms.  They confuse power with goodness, and mistake law for justice.  ~Charles T. Sprading, Freedom and its Fundamentals\n\nThe more corrupt the republic, the more numerous the laws.  ~Tacitus, Annals

Not a website, but there is an EXCELLENT book called "Law 101" by Richard Feinman. You can order it through Amazon. It is an excellent book.

Wouldn't moral law just be doing what you think is right? For example, don't murder, don't steal, don't rape are some pretty basic moral laws. \nAlso "Laws are rules or STATUTES" not statues. Moral law would be statute law likely so you might search the web for statute law. You definitely won't find much about statue law that's relevent.

Well, as the prologue states "It's the story of two star-cross'd lovers" No doubt, it's a tragic. It's romantic. But, I would say that the actual theme is that families need to be more open to their children's wants and needs. See, Romeo and Juliet honestly loved each other. Their parents had been so relentless in their feud, that both Romeo and Juliet felt they had to hide their marriage. It's a story of misscommunications. If all had come out in the beginning, much tragedy could have been prevented. Juliet and Romeo may not have been supported, but hopefully, they would have lived. Btw, when R & J had sex, they were already married.

this sounds like a concept that is specific to UK law. there is a definition in the source below but you might need to use edit/find to find the specific reference

"They are really more like guidelines..."  I heard that once.  Common wisdom is morality is a personal choice, and cannot be obtained by imposing laws.  Laws and penalties can influence behavior by incentive and pushishments.

Canon law is the body of laws and regulations made by or adopted by ecclesiastical authority, for the government of the Christian organization and its members. The word adopted is here used to point out the fact that there are certain elements in canon law borrowed by the Church from civil law or from the writings of private individuals, who as such had no authority in ecclesiastical society\n\nA little bit about canon law translations. All four English translations bear the appropriate  approvals, but the 1993 and 1999 translations are the most current and  commonly used today.  There will be differences in translations.  Aside from checking the credits to  see what edition is being used, one can quickly go to Canon 750.  If  that canon only has one paragraph, it is an older and outdated  translation.  If it has two paragraphs, it reflects the additions to  law made in the second Latin edition.   The Latin official  document came out in 1983 and was revised to clear up printing errors  in the early 90's, but used the same copyright date of 1983.  There  were also some changes/additions to the law (eg:  Canon 750) reflected  in the later Latin version.  There are several English translations  that  reflect these two different Latin originals.  The Vatican website  uses the Canon Law Society of America's (CLSA) 1999 translation.   There is also the Canon Law Society of Great Britain and Ireland's  (CLSGBI) 1983 translation, the CLSA 1984 translation, and the CLSGBI  1993 translation (this is used in the Navarre commentary with some  edits, and is also used in all the English speaking countries "under  the Crown".

the shakespeare play "romeo and juliet" was based on love, which can be linked to the heart, which is sometimes thought of as the "love muscle"

The Italian Rennaissance had such fare as Lasagne (without sauce), wine, risotto, fresh fish and lots of fresh fruits.

I hope it wasn't due four days ago. I find it ironic that with all the concern about teen-suicide, that Romeo and Juliet is usually required reading at this age. I think the Leonardo DiCaprio version that came out is a good version for understanding the universal values that Shakespeare's generation shares with today.\n\nAnger, though played with gently, still leads to death.\n\nFew know what passions beat within the heart of another.\n\nFirst love, is beautiful and pure, and blind to the misery the future holds.\n\nAs for what I learned...while love may be true, deception never serves it well.

People, please!\n\n"Wherefore" does not refer to "Where". We all know where Romeo is--under the balcony, sweet-talking Juliette.\n\nWherefore means why. Juliette is asking, Why do you have to be Romeo, part of the family that's fighting with mine? Why couldn't you have been just some random dude from some other family? Why did I have to go and fall for the guy that is going to cause me the most problems?
