A significant number of asexuals also identify as aromantic, which means that they do not experience romantic attraction. Separating romantic and sexual attraction is not strictly limited to asexual people, however. For instance, it is possible for someone to be an aromantic heterosexual, or any other combination.
Shakespeare got the story of Romeo and Juliet from a poem by Arthur Brooke called Romeus and Juliet. In Brooke's poem, the story takes place in Verona, Italy.
At the very end of the balcony scene, Romeo says, Hence will I to my ghostly father's cell, / His help to crave, and my dear hap to tell (2.2.188-189). His ghostly (spiritual) father is Friar Laurence. [Scene Summary]
