Romeo and Juliet, the most famous love story ever told

Hey there my Shakespearean Lovers 👋!

Romeo and Juliet is a play that stands out for the intense love that both characters feel towards each other. It perfectly narrates the story of the first love, a pure teenager love that is lived passionately and at the same time leads to madness and rebellion. 

But, we are talking about Shakespeare, he makes that the powerful love they feel sometimes catapults them against their world or against themselves.

Love is very difficult to express through words but Shakespeare, with Romeo and Juliet, achieved that all the people who read it would be able to feel what the characters felt whether they know or don't about love.

This work narrates all the chaos caused by love and how it influences everything that surrounds it, which leads to a tragic end.

Violence also goes hand in hand with love. Love is so powerful that it can blind the person who feels it as much as hate does, or even more. In addition, it seems that the more they approach the more attractive the idea of suicide is.

Finally, suicide seems to be the only way they will continue together for life, and despite their death their love is still alive. The idea of defending their love to such an extreme is what makes Romeo and Juliet a unique love story, where love is so intense that everyone would want to feel a quarter of it at least.

On the other hand, we can also highlight the great hatred that existed between both families, who cannot even see each other and who tried to prevent the love between both characters. It is not until the end, when the main characters die, that they understand the severity of the situation and end their rivalry forever.

Destiny plays a huge role in Shakespeare's dramas and in this case the letter that said that Juliet was not really dead was the key moment of the story where everything could have gone well or could have been terribly awful. But destiny had prepared a tragic end for them.

To end, an interesting fact is that this play is inspired by Pyramus and Thisbe, a work by Ovid that tells a similar story where two lovers who have a forbidden love end up dying.
