3.5 AVERAGE


It’s not a romance, and if it’s taught by a bad teacher, you’ll hate it. I read this in eighth grade, and despised it. Read it again freshman year with a better teacher and was ok with it. 

Boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy and girl fucking die

three stars only because of the beautiful writing. The story is sh*tty.

What’s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet.


this was so chaotic!!!!

i kinda get the hype but at the same time i still don’t. i enjoyed it so much though, but it was just ‘ok’ for me, not really that big of a deal like people has made it look like through the years.

Absolutely perfect. Obviously it's best to see a play performed or perform it yourself rather than just reading; with Romeo and Juliet I always find it impossible to avoid the performance. It jumps off the page better than almost anything else. One of those works that I am just endlessly thankful for, because the world would be much less interesting without this play.
