Errors In The Tragedy Of Romeo And Juliet

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is a tragic story of two lovers. Two families have been at war for years and they have been told to stop by the prince of fair verona. Romeo is the son of the Montague family and is sad because of the loss of his love. Juliet is the daughter of the Capulet family and is being married off by her family. They meet and fall in love at a Capulet party. They get married soon after and problems start arising like when Romeo’s friend mercutio dies. In the end both die as a result of suicide.They died because of their strong love and that ends the tragic story. This so called tragedy could really be thought of as a comedy.
