Death Revealed In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

In the infamous play of William Shakespeare titled Romeo and Juliet, two teenage lives lock together in a whirlwind of ‘love’ and drama; Not only effecting them, but leeching as well at the ones they care for around them, such as a whirlwind could sweep their souls from their bodies to either send them ascending to Heaven, or spiraling down into a raging inferno.
