In many ways the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet could have been prevented, like the simple thought of them running away, or for them never

catching eye, in which case Juliet would have just married Paris, but then it wouldn't have made the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.

I think this could happen today, if two people are really passionate for each other, I think that they would do anything to be together

i agree

It might not end up like how Romeo and Juliet did, it could be something as simple as going to Vegas and getting married without parental

i just dont think it would have happened the same way though of to the this extreme

approval, but it all comes back to two people who are truly in love.

Lol yeah.

In some ways I am sympathetic because all they really wanted was to be together, and be in love, but the only way of finding that was death.

On the other hand, they did get what they wanted, they are together, and Verona finally has peace. They took a stand, and if they hadn't

Monts and caps would have continued to fight.

I liked R&J, even though I already knew the story line, I'm glad to have read the whole story, so now I have a better understanding of it.

I really like Shakespeare's writing, and I really liked how he portrayed Teenage love as so chaotic and extreme.

I also liked how he showed how people can be so brainwashed with the nonsense of the world, that they don't pay attention to what's truly

important. Caps. and Monts. are so brainwashed with fighting and the history of their names, that they block off R&J and the things that

are actually real.

They don't know how to handle things like love and reality, because they're to caught up in what they've been forced to know.

I think I know what you mean?

no question mark lol

lol k.

yeah...shakespeare was really ahead of his time in that way...he seemed to realize how destructive families and war can be

it's really a statement about foolhardiness and passion without reason. Passion is a good thing; blindly following w no knowledge perhaps is

not

I agree.
