We believe that Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is a story of a great tragedy. For those who doesn't know the story, I couldn't let you die without knowing it. It's a story about a forbidden love amidst a feud of two prestiguous families in Verona, Italy. Yes, both Romeo and Juliet looked like a fool for insisting a love--forbidden. But were they really foolish?
Juliet: Even if we are close together...between us, lies a wall more high and hard to climb than any mountain.
Romeo: I will surmount any wall. I will fly through raging tempests, through the dark forests where the sun's light does not reach...through the blazing flames...I'll overcome them for you.
You see guys, why would Romeo and Juliet be called tragedy if the story is full of love? Oh yes, they died at the end. Why do we need to be upset about the ending? A tradegy is not all about death. Have you ever thought of what they died for? Why consider the story a tragedy, if they died for love? Is love a tragedy? Maybe if the story had no love in it, we could conclude it is indeed, a tragedy.
