Still, it is the one Shakespeare play that continues to sit in the zeitgeist of each age, as new audiences find its tragedy and love story to their liking. It is sad, and the added complication of parents feuding (the "star-crossed lovers" thing) adds to that, but on any objective viewing, the story is more a tale of sad stupidity than a love that would never die. And that is why it is timeless – teenagers still act like that to this day. Yes, it is a tragedy, but is it really an eternal love story? Lack of communication, not trusting one's instincts and listening to friends instead, and then over-reacting are what occur in this story. Has there ever been a play more misunderstood by audiences than William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet? It is a story of two teenagers – Juliet is thirteen, remember – who, through a series of misunderstandings, end up killing themselves.
