1. Family background: The exact reasons for the conflict between the Montagues and Capulets are not fully explained. The viewer should know if the feud dates back a generation, or if it was sparked by a recent incident, to help them better understand the hostility.
2. Juliet's decision: Despite being portrayed as a mature and intelligent young lady, Juliet's decision to drink the potion without talking to Friar Laurent or Romeo in further depth still is quite hasty and out of character.
3. Escalus's Role: The Prince, Escalus, only appears twice in the play, and his authority and role in Verona's society remain unclear.
4. Fate and Destiny: While fate is a major thematic element in the play, the exact role of fate in determining the tragic conclusion of the characters' lives is not wholly elucidated.
5. The Fate of Paris: Although Paris is a prominent suitor of Juliet and serves as a catalyst for Romeo and Juliet's actions, his demise receives relatively little attention in the drama, leaving the audience wondering about the consequences of his death.
These gaps add to the overall mystery of the play and give the readers reason to fill the blanks.
