The overall theme of hatred is important because if it was not in the play then the play wouldn't exist. For example, if Romeo and Juliet did not live in both those house holds where they hated each other, then they would be allowed to get married and so there wouldn't be the secrecy of getting married and there would not be the fight about marriage which means that Romeo and Juliet wouldn't die.
