During our party I noticed your Capulet son was there. In our party invitation we strictly stated Capulets were not invited. Romeo showed up to the party despite this specific request. Due to our long-running feud I hope you understand it's best for Romeo to stay away from Montagues all together. I want to keep my daughter Juliet, safe from your family, as she is my top priority. Romeo carries drama with him everywhere he goes, and that has no business in my household. Make sure to make this known to Romeo as he is the main source of our troubles.

Good day I suppose,

Capulets

Explanation:

This letter shows the feud between the Capulets. During the story of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo attended a Capulet party and met Juliet there. They eventually kissed before the nurse parted them and told Romeo of Juliet's identity. Act 1 scene 5 line 116 an 117 states, "Is she a Capulet? O dear account! my life is my foe's debt" (Act 1 scene 5 line 116 and 117). These lines show the effects of the family feud on the two teens. Usually, if there was no feud, or it wasn't as serious, they would be able to act freely following these events, and continue being together. However, Romeo and Juliet were immediately worried that they kissed one of their enemies. This shows that the feud has an effect on the two teens, and that caused them to keep their love a secret and led to eventual death.

It's been nice attending therapy sessions with you and I am glad you feel comfortable enough to open up to me. The main source of your problems seems to be the anger between the Montague and Capulet family. You seem to be very active in keeping this anger alive. Although it's okay to be angry with people, I think you are holding onto a grudge. This anger between the families started ages ago, longer than anyone can remember. I know you act impulsively in situations that anger you so, I don't think this feud is something you should be so heavily involved in. Just know, you don't have to be involved in it just because your families are.

From,

Your therapist

Explanation: The therapists note shows a therapist talking to Tybalt about his contributions to the anger between the families. Overall, the therapists thinks Tybalt is too heavily consumed by this, and reminds him he doesn't have to become involved just because he's apart of the families. Following Tybalt's death Benvolio says, " An envious thrust from Tybalt hit the life Of stout Mercutio and then Tybalt fled," (Act 3 scene 1 lines 161-162). Tybalt has anger towards Mercutio due to the influence of his family. Since his family doesn't like the Montagues Tybalt takes this out on Mercutio by killing him. This shows how family influence can have detrimental consequences because, due to the Capulets influence on Tybalt's hatred, both Mercutio and Tybalt died.

Explanation: Above I talked about how Romeo and Juliet has themes that are still relevant to today's society. I talked about the impact of family being a big example. Romeo and Juliet teaches the lesson of the impact family can have on the choices we make. For example, following Romeo and Juliet's death Capulet says, "A rich shall Romeo's by his lady's lie- poor sacrifices of our enmity!" ( Act 5 scene 3 line 303-304). Capulet is describing how Romeo and Juliet have been sacrificed due to the hatred between families. Essentially, this means that Romeo and Juliet died to the hatred between families further demonstrating the impact of family on the choices we make. With the impact of the families, Romeo and Juliet never would've died because they wouldn't have been forced to conceal their love.
