LIGHT WORK WITH NO REACTION

Absolutely hate this. Read it for school freshman year and it made me so mad the entire time. I have a whole list on why I hate it so much. - R and J only met once at a masquerade ball and didn’t even dance for very long and “fell in love” - friar Laurence is an absolute buffoon (though he discouraged the two from getting married at first) he married them - I understand R and J takes place back when a little girl getting married to an adult man was a completely normal thing but Juliet wasn’t even 13 yet and Romeo was anywhere from 19-21 - the nurse did not have to make so many inappropriate jokes to Juliet - why didn’t Juliet just run away with Romeo when he was banished instead of having a potion made to make her seem dead - Romeo should’ve checked to see if Juliet was still breathing or not before killing himself - Juliet should’ve just gone on with her life after finding Romeo dead instead of killing herself, she still had so much life left to live - her dad is probably bipolar

But the blurb is so good

You gotta be real nimble with the pages of art thou to conclude with thy book. 5 stars for thy romance. 3 stars for everything else

One of the classics I love, this makes fun of romance which is something that needed to be done… regardless of if this was made a long time ago…..

Straightforward, with an interesting plot. Easier to read than other works by Shakespeare, so it makes sense that it is often taught in ninth grade.

a classic!

Very poorly written.😐😐😐 I could do better than this😐 Do better shakaaphere 😑

😩😩😩
