✦ ugh, i gotta find some pins that match this. seriously. it is probably mostly bc of the "a rose by any other name" thing, but i always associate roses with this play. they are beautiful, like romeo and juliet's love, yet there is danger in grasping them too quickly (the thorns), such as the way that romeo and juliet rushed into their love too quickly, which ultimatey led to their deaths. it is a great symbol and you will see it constantly throughout this board lol ✦
