betty and jughead being the romeo and juliet of riverdale; a thread
to start it off, there are two main scenes in the show; [1x06] when betty is upset, jughead climbs up to her window. “hey there juliet, nurse off duty” , because he knows her mother doesnt like him amd doesnt want to get caught. (in the play, the nurse is juliets mother figure)
[2x05] where betty says “like romeo and juliet but we live happily ever after”; while both are upset about how everyone is trying to tear them apart (like in r&j) betty wishes they could just leave. she would give up everything to be with jughead
both of these scenes insinuate that they both consider their love story to be as of romeo and juliets, as their situation has been similar to theirs from the start, with people constantly trying to tear them apart
this scene shows that a lot of the town didnt want their relationship to happen, just like in the play, romeo and juliets love was known as “forbidden love” kinda like bugheads
in this scene the book they we’re supposed to read was romeo and juliet
in the play, act 3 scene 2, juliet describes romeo as “a serpent heart hid with a flowering face” which literally you cant tell me isnt bughead
even lili thinks theyre the romeo and juliet of riverdale
