Shakespeare has a very strong grasp on the concepts of love and hate. His knowledge of love is best shown in the few days that Romeo and Juliet are together. In the few days that they were together Romeo and Juliet were happier than they had ever been. Tragically, they kill themselves after less than a week. Shakespeare is showing in a very effective way how love is a great thing, but it leads you to do stupid things.
Shakespeare's knowledge of hate is very well displayed in "Romeo and Juliet". Using the feud between the families, he shows that hate is mindless. The families carried out their feud for far too long even tho it was having a negative effect on their families and society.
