Star Crossed Lovers


Here lies the greatest love story of all time, the Shakespeare classic of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet are the most starcrossed lovers to ever walk this earth. They are banned from seeing each other since their families are rivals and they have to do anything they can in order to be with each other. What is romantic about these two is the fact that they are willing to go to any means if in the end they will have each other. It is also romantic, in a weird sense, that they are willing to die for each other because then they will even be together in death. But the most romantic part from this story is the fact that Romeo called to Juliet from outside her balcony and recited this wonderful poem he came up with. I'm pretty sure that most girls have wanted a guy to call to her from outside and to proclaim their love for her. Nonetheless if this does happen to you on a daily basis or not, Romeo and Juliet will forever be the classic romantic love story that young girls first learn about and young boys find repulsive.

  1. Romeo and Juliet has been one of the best known stories....one which almost every person has read/ knows of. But I do agree with you that most boys despise a story like this, while girls drool after it. One of the main reasons for this may be because this is the perfect set-up. Girls always want the 'perfect' love story....which is exactly what this is. The thought of the 'forbidden' gets most excited as its something that doesn't happen often. This is exactly what romantics have sought...something unnerving...something that causes the adrenaline to pump

  2. Romeo and Juliet is definitely one of the most romantic tales ever told, partly because it shows the innocence in youth in thinking that love is the only thing that matters and that they can't possibly live without one another, but also that they are so determined to be together that they refuse to let any obstacle get in the way of them being together for the rest of their lives. The most romantic piece of the story is that they are both willing to die if that means that they will be together.
