Heuuu... le texte accuse son âge à mes yeux
J'ai trouvé ça bavard et plutôt creux (j'ai lu la version traduite par Victor Hugo).
C'est mon premier Shakespeare (oui à mon âge, même si j'ai vu quand même une de ses pièces au théâtre), et j'avoue je suis un poil déçue

My favorite Shakespeare play. I read this for class and it was (annoyingly) extremely interesting. The very first lines, the opening sonnet, tell you the play cannot end in any other way, otherwise it wouldn't be Romeo and Juliet. Absolutely fascinating themes of agency, fate, gender roles, and more. The deep dives I had to do into this play for class are constantly cycling around my head.
