One of the most classic and tragic love stories is the famous Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare. What makes this story so tragic is the way it quickly escalated and ended.

Therefore, fate, mentors, and poor planning were some factors that can be held responsible for the deaths of the star crossed lovers. What one should learn from the play Romeo and Juliet is that you should never jump to conclusions without seeing things with your own
