I the story the husband sells his watch to buy his wife some combs, and she sells her hair to buy him a chain for his watch. The irony in the gift exchange is critical to the story, because the theme is that they did'nt mind getting useless gifts, because they knew their partner gave up something important to them (his watch and her hair) to but a gift for each other.

During this era, the reactions of the servants' and the musicians' to the death of Juliet would show us that social class, unlike those in the upper classes, those in the lower classes display more maturity spiritually in dealing with death.
