A Love Story for the Ages
If you really think about it, the story of Romeo and Juliet is nothing more than two emo teens doing emo-teen things. Juliet is only 13 years old, so that would make Romeo somewhere between 13 and early-20s (it was a different time back then). And because these kids couldn’t get their way, they offed themselves in what will forever be known as the world’s worst misunderstanding.
The point is, don’t look toward R & J as “relationship goals.” They’re nothing more than just a couple in their puppy-love phase who went to extreme measures for a relationship that probably wouldn’t last very long. People died younger back then, y’know.
