Bet ya didn't know:

Shakespeare was not the first author to come up with the general idea of the Romeo & Juliet tragedy and he sure wasn't the last! Authors, movie producers and play writes all tend to use the same literary themes and genres over and over again and it's been happening for centuries.

Juliet was not Romeo's first love. In fact, the deciding factor for him to attend the costume party was because he heard news of Rosaline attending. Rosaline was Romeo's unrequited love until he laid eyes on Juliet.

In the movie version with Leonardo Dicaprio, the ending has a slight twist to it. Check it out below.
