Romeo and Juliet, letters mailed to Juliet
June 5, 2010 Leave a comment
Over 5000 letters are mailed every year to Juliet from Romeo and Juliet. The letters usually ask Juliet for relationship advice and are addressed to Juliet, Verona, Italy.
I don’t know why people want to get relationship advice from Juliet. Juliet killed herself a minute after finding out her husband was dead.
I am not saying that if your significant other passes away, that you can’t kill yourself. Killing yourself is bad. But if you do kill yourself, you should at least wait until after your spouse’s funeral, before you do it. That way you can show up to the funeral, give their mom a hug and speak after the eulogy.
Juliet should have also put off killing herself so that she could help clean out Romeos apartment. Romeo probably had some embarrassing stuff in his room that he didn’t want anyone to find, like a crate of dirty poems. Lord and Lady Montague don’t want to find a crate of their son’s dirty poems the same week that they lose their son. Losing a son and finding your son’s stockpile of dirty poems in the same month is too much pain for any parent to go through. It is the spouse’s job to destroy all of their significant other’s embarrassing stuff if they pass away. One of the benefits of being married is that you won’t die alone. The other benefit is that if you do die your friends and family will never find any of your erotic stuff, Grey’s Anatomy fan fiction, and home videos of you playing games with your cat.
