Letters to Juliet A Project of Love for theLovelorn One of my preferred things that has been circumventing the web for quite a while is the EMO individual who posted, What if hes your Romeo, however youre not his Juliet? The exceptionally quick reaction was, That implies youre his Rosaline and you endure the mother truckin play. In spite of the truth of what befalls the star crossd sweethearts, the industriousness in considering them the sentimental perfect lives on. Could it be any more obvious? A great many people, even the individuals who have never perused or seen the play, are bound to evoke this picture, or something near it, than frightful passings: I didnt know, in any case, until I heard a story on NPRs Morning Edition yesterday, that men (for the most part, I surmise) have been writing letters to Juliet forâ centuries.â Initially, not long after the plays exhibitions, individuals left notes at what was believed to be her burial chamber.
