what is the theme of romeo's statement in this passage from romeo and juliet?
excerpt from romeo and juliet
william shakespeare

"alas, that love, whose view is muffled still, should without eyes see pathways to his will!

love is blind.

[1] when the twins grew up, they continued to fight. [2] one day they decided to hold a contest to determine who was stronger. [3] though they tried to defeat each other in many different ways, neither one could win. [4] on the last day, they fought with weapons. [5] using a deer antler, the right-handed twin overpowered his brother, and he threw him off the edge of the earth. [6] today, the right-handed twin lives in the sky-world, and the left-handed twin lives in the dark underworld. [7] they rule the earthly world of men together.
