Famous Romeo and Juliet quotes about forbidden love are:
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet." and "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love and I'll no longer be a Capulet."
Both quotes show the conflict between love and family. Juliet wants to know why it is Romeo that she loves and wants to believe that the names of their families should not keep them apart.
In recent news, the Curtain theater, a London playhouse where William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" was thought to have first been performed has just been unearthed.
