Romeo and Juliet

     "These violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die like fire and powder"
                                                                                       - Romeo and Juliet 2.6.9

     I think this quote basically sums up Romeo and Juliet because Romeo and Juliet are in love which would be the delight part of the quote but then its says that the delights have violent ends which is true because they both die in the end along with a few others.  The quote relates Romeo and Juliet's tragedy a dying fire. A fire is normally its brightest right before it goes out and thats basically what its saying when it says "in their triumph die".

     Romeo and Juliet is basically about to young people who "fall in love" with each other. I don't think their love is really genuine though because Juliet is like thirteen and I'm guessing Romeo's around that and when you are young like that you're really reckless and don't know anything about who you love you just have crushes. They don't even really know anything about each other either because they haven't really talked about their personalities with each other just how much they love each other. Love at first sight is just not true.
