Can you compare Like Water for Chocolate with Romeo and Juliet?

One of the comparative points between Like Water
for Chocolate and Romeo and Juliet is that the
unfulfilled passion of pure love causes immediate death, in the former, it is the
immediate deaths of others, while in the latter it is the immediate deaths of the lovers
themselves. Another point of comparison is that both Tita and Juliet are dominated by
the traditions of the society and household: Tita must care for the aging mother until
she dies, while Juliet must marry a man that will advance the family's position and
wealth.

A comparative contrast (compare: examine to note
similarities and differences) is that in Like Water for Chocolate,
the lovers only die after Pedro has married someone else (in a Biblical allusion to the
narrative of Jacob and Rachel). Another contrast is that while Romeo and
Juliet is written in a realistic style, the other is written in the Latin
American magical realism style.
