Romeo and Juliet, star crossed lovers. Why are they called that? Why is their love forbidden? The themes and how it shows a meaning and poetry throughout the story, that is what they are.
Romeo is a character who is heartbroken because of his loss of Rosaline, but his friends decide he can go and crash a Capulet party. (Capulet and Montague's have been fighting for many years.) He agrees and goes, after a while he meets Juliet and it was love at first sight. There was a catch, Romeo was a Montague and Juliet was a Capulet. Their love was forbidden because of the hate the Montague and the Capulet have for each other.
"Star Crossed Lovers" the term is like their love is being tortured by the stars, an example when Romeo finds out Juliet is "dead" he yells at the stars, like the stars chose his destiny. It was like their love had to be, or else the world could see a darker fate.
When I say "FATE" I mean if this wouldn't have happened, if they both didn't kill themselves for each other, the Montague and Capulet's would have been fighting for the rest of their family's lives and it would get really messy.
The love these two people had was unbearable. They did anything for each other, and they even killed themselves for each other. I think that is the morale of the story, love is stronger than hate, love is stronger than anything you can put your mind to.
