Comment:
The undying love-story of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, this is one of his greatest works during his times which is still being studied in schools. In this story, the two young lovers proved that they are really going to love each other till death makes them apart. Though everybody is against of their relationship, they did not stop loving each other though Romeo was banished by Juliet’s father.
In personal opinion, I can say that their families waited the lives of the two young lovers' lives because they let many lives to be wasted before finding the appropriate solution for the problems of both parties.
