April 2021: Reading this again to teach to my students this term—struck this time around by the language of the play. I recently watched the National Theatre's new filmed production of the play which drew me to the intensity of the language even more. I can report that the play no longer gets on my nerves.
My 22 year old thoughts, 2020: Re-read this again for my teacher training, and I am wrapped up in ideas around the lives of adolescents and the constraints they feel are on them. This play explores two VERY young people whose lives are dictated by forces outside themselves and yet historically have been viewed as teens whose deaths are driven by blind love. Big "hmmmm!" on my end.
My 15 year old thoughts: Wonderfully written, I mean, come on, it's Shakespeare. But I must say, Romeo and Juliet get on my nerves, but the play is genius.
