No one committed suicide in the Notebook- they were so in sync with each other that they died together- that was romantic.
I have never thought of Romeo and Juliet as romantic- no matter the version. In fact I find it a study in really bad communications. I did not say no one finds it romantic- but I do not.
I love West Side Story- for the music. The story is also well done, though I will point out no one committed suicide in that movie either.
I respect what MBC said though- he is not enamored of the idea of suicide being romantic either- but sometimes your writing and characters go places you may not normally venture.
