relation to the characters

there was this part in the chapter about Miss Sophia and Harney Sheperdson, running off. This reminded me of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the two family feud. How the Ms. Sophia (Juliet) and Harney (Romeo) run off, because they fell inlove. And their family blamed each other.
And then, on a later chapter, The Duke and the King, are putting on a play about Romeo and Juliet. i don't know if there is a connection, or something, and i found it amusing.

Comments:
you're right

it seems like way too much of a coincidence to not be intentional.

I wonder why Mark Twain decided to make it like that.
