.... a loss of something deeply valued), harm done by prejudice (pre-judgement of a person or people, usually unfair and harsh yet baseless), and knowing the boundary and limits of fantasy and reality (being aware and in control of how and why we create fantasy in our lives). The most dominant theme is that of personal loss, and then prejudice & fantasy v. reality, respectively. Personal loss is something we all will deal with at some point, and probably several points, throughout our lives.

Benvolio's definition of love shows the audience two things about Ben volio: he is a womanizer and he has never before experienced "true love." The next definition of love comes from Romeo, but before the time he met Juliet. According to his definition, love (or, rather, not returned love) is pain.
