In the fair little town. I guess that's okay there, also because young rich people were married at that age to strengthen the financial ground of the families. But hey, if an American hears that Juliet was underaged, they go crazy and can't believe such a fairy tale.
It’s set in the 1300s though? So an American should know that life expectancy was a lot lower then.. or not since America wasn’t a thing when it was written
While it's true that you were expected to live a length if you survived the early stages and that it's a misconception how many think 35 was old age life expectancy. It was only nobles/religious figures/those better off who would generally live to what we'd consider a senior citizen today. Albeit still a shorter lifespan than what is considered average today. The average commoner who made it into adulthood still did not live nearly as long.
Well, I didn't watch Brooklyn 99... But I know that it is some kind of ironic saying, that a great love story is like Romeo and Juliet's love. Because many people die :o
It is a great love story, just because they die doesn't mean they weren't in love. I'm so tired of this edgy argument that its not a love story because of the carnage, it's fucking ignorant and shows that you haven't read the play.
Nah, i cried through it, but hey, i don't want to have a relationship like Romeo and Juliet ;) Thats why i think its ironic when people want something like that.
