“If he be married, my grade is like to be my wedding bed.”- Juliet Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare As is the case with many others, Romeo and Juliet fell in love accidentally. Romeo’s love for Rosaline was soon forgotten through his other half in the play, Juliet. Obviously their love failed.

If Romeo and Juliet had met later in life and when they were more mature, the play wouldn’t have ended so shockingly.
