When i noticed it, i was like:
I'm not saying that there is Romeo and Juliet in Skyrim, but, turns out that if you go to Whiterun you'll find similar aspects, that i found pretty interesting.
I'll make this straight.

- Olfina Gray-Mane = Juliet

- Jon Battle-Born = Romeo

- Clan Gray-Mane = Capulets

- Clan Battle-Born = Montagues

If you hear Olfina talking to a Bosmer in the market, you'll see her talking about Jon, etc etc...
And Jon likes music and poetry.

The two clans used to be friends, but now, they hate each other, BUT, Jon and Olfina are in love even being from diferent clans..


When i found it that was my expression :

It seems that Bethesda put in consideration every detail, and made the cities and villages feel alive... I mean, look at this, how could they have the idea into putting their "own Romeo and Juliet" in Skyrim ? IMO it is pretty cool.

Lol.. it seems no one cares..

Doesn't look like it. :shrug:

I don't think Bethesda purposely did this. But, yeah, cool.

Details, people, details. It's what makes TES so awesome.

Like the shadowmarks the Thieves' Guild uses. Fricking awesome.

Hmmmm Pretty cool likenesses. It would be neat if that was the case.

Cool I guess, doesn't seem like people care though.

Yeah... I'm not sure, but probably Bethesda didn't had a purpose into putting this.. but anyway, i found it kinda interesting.

I don't see why people are so quick to say no one cares. I found this interesting, I haven't noticed this yet, I only know a little about the whole Gray-Mare Battle-Born thing.

I found this interesting too... but i said that no one cares, because if people wanted to know about that, there should be like 2 pages of comments right now or something like that...

But i'm one of those that found this interesting.

I don't see why this is interesting, Romeo and Juliet is one of the most cliched stories out there. Almost any game, movie, or book with two different fighting factions is going to have this kind of story. In fact Romeo and Juliet is ripped off of an old Greek myth: Pyramus and Thisbe.

So, what's your point ?
Just because is one of the most cliched stories, doesn't mean that i can't find interesting the fact that in Skyrim there is a smiliar "story".

II'm edumacated enough to decipher that kind of stuff with my lowly thief, although I always think Hatfield and McCoy's.
