Star-crossed Lovers

Tweet

It is a phrase used to describes lovers who's relationship is thought to be doomed right from the start. It could either be because of fate written in the stars (not compatible astrology), or they have a different religion, or the society won't allow it, or their families have a historic feud. There could be a lot of reason and one the most popular star-crossed lovers are Romeo and Juliet. If you've read the story, Romeo thought that Juliet commits suicide by drinking a poisoned potion (but in reality it's not a poison, it is just a sleeping potion). Since Romeo loves Juliet too much and believes that he can't live without her, he decided to kill himself too (beside the body of Juliet). And right after he drinks the poison, that's when Juliet woke up and she found Romeo dead right beside her.
