Plss help!

Can someone give me an introduction paragraph that explains the overall meaning of the poem?!

I don’t get it lol

Alas, that love, whose view is muffled still,
Should, without eyes, see pathways to his will!
Where shall we dine?—O me! What fray was here?
Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all.
165Here’s much to do with hate but more with love.
Why then, O brawling love, O loving hate,
O anything of nothing first created!
O heavy lightness, serious vanity,
Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms!
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health,
Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
Dost thou not laugh?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Romeo and Juliet Summary. An age-old vendetta between two powerful families erupts into bloodshed. A group of masked Montagues risk further conflict by gatecrashing a Capulet party. A young lovesick Romeo Montague falls instantly in love with Juliet Capulet, who is due to marry her father's choice, the County Paris.

Alas that love whose view is muffled still/ Should without eyes see pathways to his will. ' – 'Love' here is actually Cupid or Eros, who shoots arrows of love even though he is blind – his 'view is muffled still', 'still' meaning 'forever'.
