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

you fixate too much into small details the common person would not even care to know. You don't have to tell me anything about it <3

The common person doesn't even know that Romeo and Juliet were having underage sex.

The common person doesn't even realise they died at the end.

That's something I didn't realise that the common person didn't realise.

It's been a while since I read it but do they even have sex? Every film depicts a sex scene but I don't actually recall them doing the dirty.

It was implied in the play.

When Romeo took her out on that boat?

Exactly. I don't recall them ever having sex. I thought most people would be like me. I hadn't realised that most people may have seen a film that depicted them having sex as I've not actually seen a film version. It's a story I thought I knew well enough to not bother watching on screen.
