Romeo and Juliet and the Renaissance

Did the end of the feud in Romeo and Juliet represent the start of the renaissance?

  1. I don't think that the end of the play represented the start of the renaissance. I think the play signifies the course the renaissance took. Things did not look good, there was war between families, who symbolize the nation-states in Europe, but there was peace to come. With the re-birth of alliances trade was more common. The trade is symbolized by the exchange of gifts between the Montagues and the Capulets, the offer to bury the other's child.
