Blizzard Bag - Summary / Romeo and Juliet

I am still reading the book, The Davinci Code, by Dan Brown.  There are many things that are going on in the book right now.  First, Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu and on Robert's friend's private jet.  Robert's friend is named Sir Leigh Teabing.  He has devoted his entire life into studying the Holy Grail, desperately trying to find out where it could be.  Their destination is England, where they hope to find safety from the French police that are now chasing them.  Robert is now thought to have murdered four people, then they stole something from one of the most heavily guarded banks, and now they are keeping a monk prisoner in the back of their jet.  They have no idea that when they touch ground in England, there will be a convoy of armed policemen waiting.


There is a lot that I don't understand about Romeo and Juliet.  The first thing that I don't understand is how if the Capulets and Montagues are sworn enemies, how can Romeo be allowed to attend a Capulet party?  It doesn't make sense that Capulet would just allow that.  The other thing that I don't understand is how Romeo and Juliet can fall in love just by looking at one another, especially when Romeo only went to the party to see his other love, Rosaline.  It's like he just flipped a switch and bam, he's in love with somebody else.
