Aye, but isn't that what Romeo and Juliet is all about - a senseless death of two young lovers - but it was the only way to preserve love's first blush. How dull the story would become if we took it through marriage, kids, divorce, public drunkenness, depression, reckless behavior, and a slow death brought on by a chronic and debilitating illness.
