Good and Bad Relationships in Romeo and Juliet

One example  of a good relationship is between Juliet and The Nurse. This relationship is an example of a mother and daughter. A quote from the play is "But first let me tell ye, if ye shall lead her into a fool's paradise, as they say, it were a very gross kind of behavior, as they say. For the gentlewomen is young, and therefore, if you should deal double with her, truly it were an I'll thing to be offered to any gentlewomen, and very weak dealing" She said that to Romeo. That line is saying that Romeo better not use Juliet and it better be for real. I also think that this is a bad relationship because the nurse makes decisions which should have made by Juliet's mom. 

An example of a dysfunctional relationship is between Tybalt and Mercutio. I think this is an example of a dysfunctional relationship because they cant seem to find good in one another. In the play Mercutio says that Tybalt is "The prince of cats" which basically means hes quick on his feet. That is one good thing i could find between this relationship. I don't think Tybalt wanted to kill Mercutio, but instead i think it happened in the heat of the moment. My opinion about this relationship is that it has some good and some bad parts. 

I believe William Shakespeare thinks that there is always good and bad in a relationship. Because it is more common in real life than a good/good relationship.
