Comparison Between Romeo And Juliet
Romeo and Juliet is a classical story of love that everyone has watched, read or heard about.
Although it is a popular story based around love it isn't all what it seems. Romeo and Juliet is more of a story of lust Romeo is about 18 and Juliet is about 13 years old and they both met at a party. Juliet was trying to escape the arranged marriage to Paris and Romeo was heartbroken from Rosaline when they ran into each other.
