I mean, I can’t think of a less romantic ending to a story.

And maybe that seems romantic at fourteen, or whatever, but it’s totally not realistic. No, it would be Romeo and Juliet all alone, forever. Not to mention that they had absolutely no friends in common, so forget double dates. I mean, their families hated each other, so even if they did survive, every holiday and birthday until the end of time would be a royal pain. Everyone dies for this love that, in my opinion, wasn’t all that solid from the get-go. It was called The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. In fact, Romeo and Juliet isn’t even the original title of the play.

To have someone who loves you so much they would actually die for you.īut the thing people never remember about Romeo and Juliet is that it’s not a love story it’s a drama. His most famous work, and he completely missed the mark.
