"O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?"

Juliet cries these words into the night, having just met and fallen in love with Romeo of the Montague family, sworn enemy of her own (Capulet) family. This famous line has been misunderstood through popular history, with comedic interpretations showing Juliet glancing about her garden, looking for her Romeo.

The truth - It is not where, but why, she asks: why are you Romeo and a Montague, my father's enemy? Their love is made impossible by their names, and Juliet ponders this situation from her balcony, "Deny thy father and refuse thy name/Or it thou wilt not be, be but sworn my love,/And I'll no longer be a Capulet."


moving. but will u be willing to give up ur family for "love"? inverted commas coz i still have my doubts.

the presence of her objection can be felt however subtle. maybe to her, this juliet is simply not good enough for dear romeo.

can the modern day romeo n juliet conquer this? i dont know.

for now, happy faces and nonchalance please..






ps: both romeo n juliet died.
