What role do love and marriage play in Romeo and Juliet? There are many different types of love and marriage that feature in the play of Romeo and Juliet, the Capulets and the Montagues are prime examples. Both of their marriages were probably arranged. They could have been arranged for money or for family business. You can tell this by the way they talk to each other, "a crutch, a crutch why call you for a sword?" Lady Capulet tells her husband. Lady Montague talking to Old Montague, "thou shalt not stir one foot to seek a foe" this shows that they have grown apart from each other because both of the women are mocking their husbands. Another marriage is Juliet's and Paris's, this was arranged and was happening because Juliet's father wanted another generation of his family, this tends to happen only in Asian marriages in the modern day...
