Same. I never thought Romeo and Juliet was a great or supremely romantic story. I guess I can see why people feel that way, and why it has become shorthand for romance, but... at the end of the day, it's a tragedy about two dumb preteens who wreaked a path of death and destruction and killed themselves. No thanks. (Then again, I have never liked the "love each other so much they literally can't live without each other" trope. So I am, quite possibly, just missing the point.)

Omg, nothing pisses me off more than people trying to hold up Romeo and Juliet as some great romantic ideal. Because, you know, it's not like Romeo was "in love" with Rosaline and waxing poetic about here like two hours before he met Juliet. Plus, the whole dying tragically because people couldn't take the time to fucking talk to one another thing also puts a total damper on things.

I would also like to put in my agreement to this sentiment.

Also: I hate sad endings.

Let me love you, cause even the English teachers I had who covered it thought Romeo and Juliet was some great romantic tragedy.

No, they were teenagers in lust. They knew each other for all of what, a week? before they decided to run away together. Ugh.

ayrt

Agreed. And Romeo was head over heels for Rosalind approximately 2.1 minutes before he was head over heels for Juliet. So....

Really? My English teacher taught it to us that they were two infatuated teens.
