It's not a romantic love of course since she's married to Romeo, whom she also loves.

In literary works such as novels, stories, or poems, the historical context includes factors such as the political, economic, ethical, and social situations that influenced the literary work. Additionally, these factors are related to the general context and situation of a specific geographical location during a specific time. For example, in the case of the famous book "Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain, this is set in Missouri during the 1840s, and factors such as politics, society, and economy, as well as the place and time are the historical context.
