Romeo and Juliet, the names synonymous with tragic love, were born into feuding families: the Montagues and the Capulets. These star-crossed lovers, according to Shakespeare, were doomed from the start. Defying family and societal norms, they chose love over hate, secretly marrying with the hope of uniting their families. Their plan, however, was marred by a series of unfortunate events. Juliet, to avoid marrying another suitor, consumed a potion to feign death, planning to elope with Romeo. But, Romeo, unaware of the plan and believing Juliet to be dead, poisoned himself. Awaking to find Romeo dead, Juliet chose to join her lover in death, marking a tragic end to their love story. Their deaths, however, brought about peace between the Montagues and Capulets, highlighting the irony of their tale. This saga raises questions on fate vs. free will, and love vs. hate, making us wonder if their destiny could have been different. It also serves as a timeless reminder of the destructive power of prejudice and the redeeming power of love.
