WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING • “What are these families trying to win? #uselessbattle” • “I’m the neighbor of Capulet in Verona. I heard a lot of things about the children of Capulet and Montague. First, I heard about their secret marriage. Then, some people talked about Juliet and Paris having a wedding. However, Romeo and Juliet were found dead together in Capulet’s tomb. I think Juliet didn’t want to marry Paris, so she killed herself and died with Romeo. Their parents will never agree. ” • “Not everyone has a successful destiny. #starcrossedlovers” • “How can Juliet not listen to her father? #familyfeud #baddaughter” • “I am a citizen of Verona. I have known about the long feud between Montagues and Capulets, but I was shocked when I heard that their children fell in love with each other.

I feel sorry for those poor children – they have to choose between love or family. ” • ”Romeo killed Tybalt! #rageofmontague #banished” • “OMG! Did you guys know Romeo and Juliet secretly married? #secretmarriage #thingsyoudoforlove”
