The ORIGINAL miscommunication trope.
Romeo and Juliet is sharp, witty, hilarious, and packed with some of the most iconic lines in all of literature. The whole play is a masterclass in dramatic irony as you, the reader, know everything that’s about to go wrong, and the fun lies in watching the characters sprint toward certain doom.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I couldn’t stand Romeo and Juliet.
Mercutio, on the other hand, is the king of my heart. He’s undoubtedly my favorite character and I still cherish the memory of playing him (badly) in my middle school production.
Honestly, I love classics with a looming sense of doom. Even if I hate the characters, I’ll still enjoy watching the incoming car crash.

I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally read this - especially as I loved it so much and got so much more out of it than I expected to! I suppose because the story and its impact is already so well-known I thought it would be interesting to finally read the original, but actually it hit me so hard in terms of just what a heartbreaking portrayal of young love and bittersweet innocence it is. I can't really articulate why it had the effect on me it did, but I suppose it just scratched such an itch in my brain and really struck me how timeless a story it is (as Shakespeare's writings always are!). Definitely one I'm so excited to now read again and again!
