Romeo and Juliet is often read as one of the greatest love stories ever told. But there are indications that this is not exactly how Shakespeare meant for his play to be read.

Try to establish their real reasons for pursuing each other and ultimately committing suicide. Point to the clues in the text that cause us to doubt the sincerity of their affections.
