All teenagers take themselves way too seriously. It's not their fault; their hormones are going wild and distort their view of the world. Romeo and Juliet wouldn't be the same story if they had met at age 35. So, to answer your question, not so much silly teenage love gone wrong as over-dramatic teenage angst with access to weapons and poisons.

Neither. the two families have been locked in a vendetta and a marriage between the families could desire to no longer be standard. take a verify out the Musical 'West facet tale'. it extremely is Romeo and Juliet in a fashionable environment. Shakespeare grow to be an somewhat terrific plagiarist and 'borrowed' his subject concerns from Plutarch and historic previous. that's regularly theory that he took his concept for Romeo and Juliet from a poem written in 1562 by skill of Arthur Brooke. there's a obscure danger that it may desire to have been according to a real experience which got here approximately in Verona in 1303.

Since the deaths occured in a written play, they were absolutely destiny.
In a more abstracted sense, I think that the idea of destined lovers is rather unlikely. On the other hand, teenagers do stupid things perennially due to "teenaged love". I would imagine were a similar conflict (between families and whatnot) to happen these days, something equally melodramatic would probably happen. That's not to say the unlikely timing and herb inspired pseudo-death would happen, just that an overreaction on the the part of the teenagers involved would probably find genesis in the blowing-out-of-proportion that is so ubiquitoius in teenage lives.
Or something. ;)

I personally believe that the deaths in Romeo and Juliet were simply another technique to bring false depth to the story of two silly kids. Shakespeare seems to be backed into a corner, and uses their deaths as a deus ex machina to bring the families together.

Love is a feeling that can be felt by two lovers of any age. In love the age does not matter, but the age in love does matter. In teenage the love is very crucial because in teenage we have to decide our future.

I think to make the story more dramatic it was "fated" however i think the larger point is a critique on the families behavior. By continuing a stupid fued they set the stage for tragety. Others died in this pointless blood fued...i think that is the true cause the hatred bred by the families.

I think this kind of love, all consuming, unreasonable, love of the sake of love can only happen in your teen years. After that its all logic- is he/she right for me, how much does he earn, where will we live, etc.
So yeah, it was silly teenage love gone wrong...but you know what, at 16 I would have laid down my life for my then love...had he but asked...sigh. And then we grew up.

their love wasn't silly, but they could've exercised a little patience and waited until they were old enough to make their own decisions about their lives.. true love is worth waiting for..
