Primary
The film primarily explores the universal themes of love, hate, and the destructive consequences of inherited feuds, ultimately advocating for reconciliation through tragic sacrifice.

The 1916 film 'Romeo and Juliet' by Harold Clayton features traditional casting, reflecting the norms of its production era and the classic source material. Its narrative focuses on a tragic love story, presenting traditional identities in a neutral or positive light without explicit critique.
Secondary
The film portrays Christianity through the character of Friar Laurence, a Franciscan friar whose actions, though ultimately leading to tragedy, are motivated by a desire for peace and love between the feuding families. The narrative does not critique the faith itself, but rather the human failings and societal conflicts that unfold within a Christian context.
