Romeo and Juliet Criticism
One thing about people who are critical of Romeo and Juliet that pisses me off is people saying they were just teenagers. It was written in the 1590โs when average life expectancy was 39, 16 was over a quarter of your expected life! Marriage ages were also much younger especially in the noble classes!
FUCKING CONTEXT PEOPLE!
True, very true, but it was still a relationship lasting less than a week and resulting in about 5 deaths.
