The Love and Hate theme explores at least two major understandings of the spaces between love and hate as they help us understand the ongoing importance of race, gender, and sexuality. The themes of love and hate are very important in the play as the plot is driven by them. For example, Romeo and Juliet. Throughout the play, different characters act in an inconsiderate and dangerous manner that leads to Romeo and Juliet's deaths...In the play, love and hate share the same feature in that they are both irrational and excessive.
