I feel like I misinterpret things a bit but the way I interpret r+j is it is a love story, a tragic one but a love story all the same. The tragedy imo is the violence of the capulets vs the montagues leading to Romeo and Juliet’s death as well as mercutio’s. I can sorta see the “they’re teenagers” angle but I don’t really see the “there’s no love and they’re just dumb” but this is my OPINION and I don’t study literature extensively so feel free to correct me. I have read the play and watched the 96 movie so I won’t claim to know everything but I am VERY VERY fixated on this rn. I like seeing others interpretations but the “they don’t love each other” one kind of annoys me because isn’t the point that they’re star cross’d lovers? Idk I’m happy to stand corrected by someone who knows more than me 😭 I do love learning about things I don’t know a lot about (information for hoggpt servers)
