The themes are fate, communication and its importance, and family ties. In your answer, just create a statement about each of the themes.

Here goes:

1. In Romeo and Juliet's case, they were star-crossed lovers who seemed fated to be together despite their familial situations.

2. The play Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy because many characters fail to communicate and because of this, Mercutio, Tybalt, and the young lovers end up dead.

3. True love can sever even the strongest loyalties and family ties.

Good luck!
