CONTEXTShakespeare mocks the conventions of courtly love through Romeo’s feelings towards Rosaline. Courtly love is a non-physical unrequited love. Shakespeare also warns of the dangers of pursuing true love through Romeo and Juliet’s deaths.
CONTEXTFamily honour is presented in both a positive and negative light. Shakespeare uses Capulet to criticise the idea of arranged marriages by the way he forces Juliet to marry Paris and Tybalt to link to the violent volatility of mas-culine society. However, the end of the feud in Act 5 gives both families an opportunity to show honour.
CONTEXT:The Elizabethan era was a highly religious society which considered suicide to be an act of sin that would tarnish family honour. However, the emerging Renaissance movement considered suicide to be honourable and heroic.
