Romeo and Juliet
In one of Leona Lewis's songs she has a lyric that says something like: "Like Romeo and Juliet, our families can't divide us"
But didn't Romeo and Juliet's families manage to keep them apart?
A literary sort of question for you Saturday morning.

Hmmm. That is a very silly lyric indeed.
Romeo and Juliet's parents did not keep them from loving each other, and I guess they are united in death at the end of the play. If that is what the songwriter was thinking of when she wrote her lyric, she must be a morbid woman!
Perhaps her point is that love is stronger than death?
