What you'll read in Chapter 1

  • · Why Romeo and Juliet is filed under tragedy, not romance — and why the genre label is the verdict.
  • · The forensic timeline: three days, six bodies, two shattered families.
  • · The character Shakespeare wrote and the world chose to ignore: Count Paris.
  • · Friar Lawrence's seven-line indictment of the entire romantic premise — embedded in the play, ignored for four centuries.
  • · Why this matters — for marriages, divorce rates, and the partner you choose next.

“Romeo and Juliet knew each other for three days. Six people died. That's not a love story — that's a hostage situation.”
