![]() ![]() What if the greatest love story ever told was the wrong one? Maybe then all of this could have been avoided. It was supposed to be us together forever, and it would have been if she hadn’t come along and stolen him away. Romeo didn’t belong with Juliet he belonged with me. Juliet wasn’t some sweet, innocent girl torn apart by destiny. Everyone always thinks Romeo and Juliet were so helpless to fate, that they were at the mercy of their love for each other. ![]() And Romeo went to the party that first night, the night everything began, to see her. If you read closely, you’ll realize that there was someone before Juliet ever came into the picture. And the truth is, it wasn’t supposed to end that way. 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. ![]()
