Because pretending to die, then having your lover die over agony, then awaking only to commit suicide because your lover is dead is TOTALLY the meaning of romance ;)

Lectura ágil, con un lenguaje no demasiado complicado aunque esconda varias metáforas en él. Un clásico obligatorio.

I read this in about a week, you do have to use a dictionary at some points. I really loved it but the story was too fast paced for me, but it was a play and would be slower to see in person.

Very gripping and well-structured. Not a perfect play in terms of its tone and language, as Shakespeare has not hit the pinnacle of his creative ability at this earlier point in his work. But it is created with so much evident love, and it is so preeminently iconic, more quoted and more culturally influential than any other Shakespeare play I would argue, that it attains a kind of perfection of its own.
