What are the other themes of Romeo & Juliet besides

It's too late for you. Work on your chemistry homework instead.

There is no human work of art that isn't about love and/or death.

One of the most important themes of the play is that you should do your own homework.

Nigga how're you going to learn anything if you get us to do it for you?

Coincidentally, a theme is the stupidity of teenagers.

church oppression (of science: using it for evil potionmaking; of people: manipulating information for personal benefit i.e. Friar Laurence wanted Romeo for himself)
Faust paralelles (Benvolio encourages Romeo to go meet Juliet in the first place, Romeo accepts, selling his soul to Benvolio i.e. the Devil)
struggle with chronic illness and the necessary lifestyle adaptations (Juliet has a nurse in her bedroom almost the entire time)
oppression of the non-gender-binary (Mercutio dies because he was caught in the middle of a conflict between Masculinity (House of Montague) and Femininity (House of Capulet)

Spooks

Names
Literature, a lot of references and metaphors involving books, writing, language, etc. The importance of verbal actions. The community kills the challenge to social construction of language.
Love
Love as religion/idolatry (see Jorge Luis Borges on Dante)
Fate/chance vs free will
Stars (representatives of Fate)
Light vs darkness/night (night = private world, light = society, law, tradition)
Silver vs gold
Youth vs age/old people
Time

>>8020306

>>8020250

Agree, but don't know why you mention it since I didn't say anything about that post.

>>8020329
What do you mean gold vs silver?

>>8020351
>The "infinite" nature of true love is repeated. Similar motif in Anthony and Cleopatra opening. "Boundlessness versus limitation is a key dialectic for Shakespeare in every sphere (language, politics, mortality, sexual passion, geography, stagecraft, etc.). In Romeo and Juliet, which we have seen to be an exceptionally well-crafted play, the material worth of “gold” and its limitations as lucre, ornament, and literal status symbol are measured against another kind of quality, associated with the quicksilver Mercutio and with the element of silver in the play. It is not overstating the case to say that gold versus silver constitutes another of the play's defining feuds, and that the critique of gold leads to the stunning climax/anticlimax of the final scene, in which Capulet and Montague, having apparently learned nothing from their losses, vie to build golden statues, each for the other's dead child."

i didn't understand too
