You know, Romeo and Juliet makes a lot more sense if you consider the suicides in the context of the rest of their lives.

Like, Juliet was being forced into a marriage she didn’t want. Romeo was living on the run. So it’s not just about “woe my lover is dead” it’s more “woe my lover is dead and my entire life situation sucks, and I have no way out”
