It's a long long time since I've read/seen Romeo and Juliet. I studied it at GCSE, and apart from the balcony scene, my abiding memory of it was just how unecessary their deaths were. I know it was a tragedy so that presumably was the point, but it still bothers me. I think we often make assumptions and don't always stop to see something from an external viewpoint and so end up making a decision based on what we think/feel/know rather than waiting to get a different perspective that could put a whole different light on the situation.
My daughter thinks my woolly scarf and snuggly cardigans are unecessary at the moment, but I'm not wearing them for warmth so much as being enfolded in them :)
