What would have happened to romeo and Juliet if they hadn't die?
Romeo was in the garden specifically to meet with Juliet and so he would eventually have met her and talked with her. The customary way for these conversations to go is shown by Romeo's relationship with Rosaline, where he complains that he is dying of love and she remains cool and aloof. Had Juliet intentionally told Romeo right off that she loved him she might have appeared loose. Indeed she worries that Romeo might have gotten that impression from overhearing her. "If thou thinkest I am too quickly won, I'll frown and be perverse, and say thee nay, so thou wilt woo." And she would have stood on form had she not been overheard. "Fain would I dwell on form--fain, fain deny what I have spoke." Bet although the formalities of courtship may have slowed down the courtship, it would not have prevented it--Juliet was not one who would let form keep her from her man.
