dark emotional funny mysterious reflective tense medium-paced

My Advice to those reading this is NOT a love story. This is a tragedy, and it's best to treat it as such. Even if you do find it cringe (*ahem* Romeo)

That being said, this is a well-written play, but It's not my favorite of Shakespeare's work. I wasn't a big fan of it in 9th grade, and I'm not a big fan of it now. But I do understand the underlying messages once you get past all the cringy and comedic moments of the entire play.

Still can't believe that people think this is the greatest love story, but it was fun to read.

Mercutio made this "okay".

Teenage romantic angst turned up to an 11.
