From the moment that i heard the story "Romeo and Juliet" i thought;"What a weird story." first off i was very confused when i started to read in my 11th grade class but i made it by. Then over the 2011 summer i decided to read it online. I felt i needed to refresh my memory.
The main characters are obviously Romeo and Juliet. One is a Montegue and the other a Capulet. Both families dislike each other greatly and if given the chance, they would take the other out.
Many people already know the general plot of the story. The problem with that is we think we don't need to read the story. So now you don't actually know what goes on in the story. So there are kids from the two house holds that fall in love but they're not supposed to. Its basically a romantic drama.
To my absolute delight i hated the book even more than before. The first time i read it i didn't like it a whole lot. It drove me nuts trying to wrap my head around the fact that they would do such dumb things. It reminds me of another book Shakespeare wrote, Othello, which i also hated. Its also the type of book where the events aren't right in front of you. You need to think in the time period. But wait, if you're the type of person that love his books then by all means this is the book for you. Be WARNED. It ruined my persona of the Romeo and Juliet story.
For me Romeo & Juliet was pretty bad but I don't mind a lot of Shakespeare's other books.
