first reaction when the read was over is why on earth it took me so long to read this beautiful work of Shakespeare having it physically with me all this while.
Perhaps, I thought I didn't really need to read it since I know the story from the movie adaptations I have watched.
How foolish! I had no idea what I had missed for so long,
I have never enjoyed Shakespearean writing as much as I did in this play, It is passionate, lyrical, and humorous, It is amazing that you find all these in a tragedy only a great master can accomplish that feat, The story is both romantic and tragic, as we well know, But what is incredible is that the play is a "beautiful" tragedy,
This is one of the most outstanding plays that I have read, I loved it. I haven't read many Shakespearean tragedies, and in my mind, no tragedy will outmatch the tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet.
It certainly will be my favourite Shakespearean tragedy, every time someone refers to romeo and juliet as the greatest romance of all time, a pretentious high school english teacher's pet writing their final paper on how stupid these two bozos are loses their wings.
part of a series i'm doing in which i review books i read a long time ago, and also roast myself Romeo and Juliet, abridged.
ROMEO: Im Romeo, and I used to be emo and annoying but now Im so totally in luuuuurve and its AWESOME.
MERCUTIO: Okay, three things: One, theres only room in this play for one awesome character and its me, bitch.
Two, youre still emo and annoying, Three, didnt you say that exact same stuff yesterday about Rosaline
ROMEO: Who
meanwhile, Juliet prances around her room and draws hearts on things and scribbles “Mrs.
Juliet Montague” in her diary over and over, Because she is THIRTEEN. How old is Romeo supposed to be Lets not talk about that, k
CAPULET: Good news, Juliet! I found you a husband!
PARIS: Hello, Im a complete tool.
JULIET: Daddy, I dont want to marry that apparently decent and unflawed guy! Im in love with Romeo Montague we met yesterday and it was HOT.
CAPULET: I WILL BE DAMNED IF I SEE MY ONLY DAUGHTER MARRIED TO THE ONLY SON OF THE MAN WHO IS MY MORTAL ENEMY FOR REASONS TOO UNIMPORTANT TO SPECIFY IN THIS PLAY!
JULIET: stamps foot, runs off to her room to watch High School Musical again and sulk
TYBALT: Hey Romeo, your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
MONTAGUE POSSE: Oh, snap.
MERCUTIO: YOU TAKE THAT BACK!
TYBALT: MAKE ME!
ROMEO: No! You cant fight him, Mercutio because I already married his cousin!
TYBALT: I KEEL YOU!
Romeo attempts to stop the fight and fails miserably
MERCUTIO: FUCK YOU ALL! dies
ROMEO: Okay, forget what I said about not fighting.
I KEEL YOU!
TYBALT: dies
PRINCE: Ive had enough of your shit, Emo McStabbypants, Youre banished.
ROMEO: Waaaaaahhhhhh! Im banished and Juliet is going to marry another guy and its not fair WHY DOES GOD HATE ME
FRIAR LAURENCE: Jesus Christ, not this again.
Okay, if you promise to grow a pair, Ill help you and your wife out, Heres the plan: she takes a potion thatll make her go into a coma, and then shell get put in the family tomb and then youll sneak back into town, break into the tomb, wait until she wakes up, and then the two of you escape and live happily ever after! Its perfect!
AUDIENCE: the hell
Shockingly, the plan fails.
Romeo goes back to the tomb pausing to kill Paris just for good measure, but he thinks Juliets dead and drinks poison and dies, and then like two seconds later she wakes up and sees that Romeo isnt mostly dead like she was, hes dead, so she stabs herself.
MONTAGUE: Wow, we are awful parents,
CAPULET: I have an idea lets make solid gold statues of our dead children to commemorate their love and serve as a constant reminder of the fact that our only children killed themselves because we were such uncaring parents.
they actually do this,
SHAKESPEARE: Beat that, Stephenie Meyer,
THE END.

BONUS: courtesy of The Second City Network, sitelinkEvery Shakespeare heroine needs a sassy gay friend In terms of language and style, Romeo and Juliet might possibly be the best of all Shakespeare's work.
It's crammed full of some of the most beautiful poetry I've ever had the pleasure of reading, But the story of lustfilled teens sacrificing themselves because of an extreme burst of instalove Never really been my cup of tea.
As I looked over my previously read books and searched for one that was missing a review, Romeo and Juliet stood out to me.
But then I thought about it, . . who doesn't know about this play Who hasn't read it in school sometime in the past Who hasn't watched a movie version or seen some sort of take on the classic tortured romance story And why on earth would anyone care to read another review, let alone my review, on it Exactly.
So don't look for much here as I'm sure most everyone has read it already, And I'm not that funny to even make reading my opinions worth it, That said a few shared thoughts about what I've learned from this play:
Parents exist to torture their children, It's a simple fact. If your child wants X, it is your responsibility to keep X away from him/her,
. Love will always end in disaster, Don't attempt it without proper backup,
. Even though someone looks dead, they probably aren't, Kill them again just to be sure,
. Your bros or girls don't always have your back,
. Magic powders are the cure for everything, Always trust what you don't understand, And just inhale it like the world is about to end,
In all sincerity, I do like the play a lot, I've enjoyed countless interpretations. I think parts of it are brilliant and parts of it are pure illogical nonsense, Every TV show and movie has their own reappropriation to tell, Not everything can be perfect when it comes to love, But this play certainly teaches a lot of lessons and provides a lot of bumps, And this reader still goes along for the ride, . .

polldaddy pollI don't know if fortunately or unfortunately, but I read the book in Shakespearean English.
I did understand it, but it was so difficult, I got the plot and stuff, I understood the story, the way it is written, I like the story a lot, the ending even more! In my opinion, it is a bit too long, but I still recommend it.
I think it will be better to read it in "normal" English, since I read it like that short time ago and it's much easier to understand it and it can be read in a much more fluent way.
I recommend you to read it in normal English, it's easier to chew it, Good play! Romeo and Juliet The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy, written by William Shakespeare early in his career, about two young starcrossed lovers, whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families.
Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity,
The plot is based on an Italian tale translated into verse as The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet by Arthur Brooke inand retold in prose in Palace of Pleasure by William Painter in.
Shakespeare borrowed heavily from both but expanded the plot by developing a number of supporting characters, particularly Mercutio and Paris.
Believed to have been written betweenand, the play was first published in a quarto version in,
The text of the first quarto version was of poor quality, however, and later editions corrected the text to conform more closely with Shakespeare's original.
