Sure, but it's a love story between two teenagers, one of whom was five minutes before moping that the LOVE OF HIS LIFE wouldn't have him and I'M A GONNA DIE before a head-snap and OMG WHO IS THAT STONE FOX OVER THERE? And their entire romance is fueled by the heady delight of being rebellious and disobeying their parents.

So a lot of Eng/Lit people see it as a satirical tragedy: if the families hadn't forbidden the romance, it would have fizzled out right away, most likely.
