What is the main theme of Romeo and Juliet?

Probably depends on who you ask.  Obviously, as the previous post points out, much of it is about love.  It is about the crazy things people do when they think they are in love and about how the love of these two tragic kids can bring the feuding families back together.


One of the major themes is also tragedy, the deaths in the various families brought on by stupidity and bad chance or "fate" and the way that it tears people apart before it brings them together.


Another theme is fate, the idea or question of whether or not it decides peoples lives or if people decide their lives themselves.
