O Romeo, Romeo! Where are you, Romeo? «Deny your father and reject your name; or, if you do not wish, swear my love to me and I will no longer be a Capulet. This is an example of how Juliet believes their love overcomes the family feud. Juliet also believes that their love would be accepted if it weren't for their families. «I take you at your word: call me love and I will be baptized again; from now on I will never be Romeo." This is another example of romantic love. Romeo is willing to do anything for Juliet and sacrifice his name to be with Juliet. This foreshadows Romeo's later sacrifice, his life. Romeo is also shown to act irrationally as he is willing to sacrifice everything he has for someone he just met. This could also be an example of how Shakespeare presents love at the beginning
