What was Romeo and Juliet’s primary goal?



Now that they have achieved their goal, what prevents them from making the news known to everyone?

Answer 1

1) Their primary goal was to be together — to marry and live as husband and wife despite the Capulet–Montague feud.

2) They must keep the marriage secret because of the family feud and the danger of punishment; additionally Romeo’s banishment (and Juliet’s pressure into a marriage with Paris) prevents them from announcing it.
