That they cannot live if they do not have things on their terms is a similarity between Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) and Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone concludes that divine will and family ties take priority over all else. Likewise, Juliet decides that love and Romeo mean more to her than everyone and everything else. The two heroines seek life on their terms or not at all.
Romeo and Juliet's tragedy is greater than Antigone and Haemon's tragedy. This is because Antigone and Haemon's tragedy was fated by the gods. Romeo and Juliet's tragedy was the result of their and their families actions and could have been avoided.
In my opinion, Antigone. Far more meaningful to me.
Antigone' by Sophocles romeo and juliet
No, their families were "both alike in dignity".
That they commit suicide because of family opposition to their love is a comparison of the tragedies of Antigone and Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) and of "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone and Prince Haemon respectively commit suicide for unspecified reasons and in loving despair. Antigone does not get to marry her first cousin Haemon because she is sentenced to death by her uncle, King Creon, who dislikes her. In contrast, Romeo kills himself because he believes Juliet dead, and then Juliet commits suicide because she finds Romeo really dead. The couple is married even though their families object.
Those are the first lines of Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare
"Both alike in dignity" is a phrase from Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," referring to the equal social standing and worth of two individuals (Romeo and Juliet) despite their families being in conflict. It highlights the idea that love transcends social barriers.

After Romeo and Juliet married Romeo owned Juliet and everything she owed as well.
Well, it is both suicide because of the death of each other But the difference is that Romeo killed himself when Juliet was pretending to be dead, and Juliet woke up after that, so killed herself because he was really dead. Confusing right??
