I disagree. It’s a boldheaded romance that would’ve been possible if not for the petty feud of the families. Toxic social group dynamics prevent a romance AND the couple is foolish in love. Both can be true without there being a party unequivocally in the right. The story is messy, and that’s likely the point.
That is fucked up, and yet that sadly wouldn’t have been seen as such a bad thing back then. Values of the past sucked, but that doesn’t change the equation. The romance is toxic AND the society that prevents peace is too.

They’re like 18 and 13 years old (Romeo’s age is never specified, but Juliet is definitely 13). Just no.
