Why would anyone want to compare themselves to Romeo and Juliet. I mean really, they commit suicide at the end of the play. And not only do they die, many of their friends and family die because of them.
Even so today there are many couples who compare themselves to the most tragic couple all time.
What I wanna know is what is it about them that is so special? Is it the fact that they meet at a masked ball? Is it that they rebelled against their parents? Oh wait maybe its because just hours before Romeo fell in lust with Juliet, he was preoccupied with Rosaline a couple of hours before?
You know what I got it. It's that after only a couple of days, of knowing each other they ran away to get married. I mean unless your drunk, who does that?! Like really. That's not romantic that's just weird.
Romeo and Juliet are not my example of an ideal relationship. I think i'd rather be a Odysseus and Penelope. At least they never cheated on each other or killed themselves, or even caused the death of their family and friends. Yes there were separated for twenty years but hey doesn't true love wait.
