The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is not that they died for their love; it’s that they’re too young to realize that their love wasn’t worth dying for. It’s a cautionary tale about the follies and passion of youth, not a love story.
I thought it was a cautionary tale about parents who overreact to their children’s relationships without realizing that if they just let them be they’ll break up on their own.

It’s also a story about how feuds are largely arbitrary, and holding grudges against entire families/bloodlines is just tragically pointless eye-for-an-eye behavior that eventually leads to your children being so blind that they commit suicide for basically no reason.
It could also be interpreted as a George Bluth-esque extreme “always leave a note” lesson.
If you’re going to fake your suicide to get your crazy family off your back so you can be with your lover, always leave your lover a note explaining what you’re doing or you’ll both end up dead.
It’s been ages since I’ve actually gone through it but what I remember of it, it goes like this:
Roseline, the chick Romeo has the hots for, has just come out as asexual. He’s not taking this well.
To cheer him up, his buddies suggest crashing a big party at the Capulet house tonight. Romeo tags along.
While moping at the party, he encounters Juliet. The two of them hit it off HARD, they both like Blink 182 AND Evanescence, what are the odds?
Problem: They’re respective fathers have some unspecified feud, so when it comes out just who each other are, it’s a problem.
We get a scene where Romeo is in the back yard and Juliet is in her bedroom looking out the window, two back to back speeches about "(s)he’s hot, it’s a shame our dads hate each other.
They decide to run off to Vegas and get hitched anyway.
The parties get separated, and then there is a compounding series of “a thing has happened!” “I know! I’ll make it look like I’ve done something drastic for some damn reason, and I’ll send a messenger to tell the other party that I haven’t really done that.” “A thing has happened, and the messenger carrying a message that would completely inform your decision hasn’t arrived yet.” “I know, I’ll do something drastic for some damn reason!”
This ends in the two fathers standing over an almost literal pile of corpses to include the titular teenagers, trying to remember what they were even fighting about in the first place.
Roseline is unscathed.
Moral of the story: Latency is just as important as bandwidth.
That seems like it still counts as a love story then, or at least “romance” given that that’s primarily what it’s plot and themes revolve around. What qualifies something to be a love story if not that?

Edit: alright, it’s about a lot of things.

I thought it was about the political intricacies of two gnome families that didn’t like each other
I’ve heard of two KDE families that didn’t like each other….

It’s a bunch of themes in a trench coat!

Isn’t it about how hostile families ruin shit for their kids?

Def not worth dying for
