Romeo and Juliet
Well, Shakespeare is a great author. He managed to keep us entertained even when after he told us the ending. He told us the ending, and so he used a technique that resembles "Inverse Psychology". He managed to keep us reading by not telling us the whole ending. He left some parts untouched, and humans have a natural and infinite thirst for knowledge. We always want to have knowledge. So his technique is to leave things vague, so that our own thirst for knowledge, our curiosity, finishes off the job. In my most honest opinion, I think that this is a wonderful technique and a very effective one too.

I must say, I concur! I have read 'Romeo and Juliet' myself, in the original middle english, and even though the plotline is a tad frustrating (They see each other ONCE, he cons her into kissing him ONCE and they're willing to die ofr each other *eyeroll*), it's marvellously written. As is expected from the Word Weaver himself!
haha, thanks! and I agree with you too on the storyline.
