Is it right to give it a 1 star when i have no idea how to nor any interest in appreciating Shakespeare's apparently greatest literary work?

History's number one love story... In fair Verona, where we lay our scene is where we discover two lovers whose families are divided by a long-standing rivalry. This division dictates that these two should never even meet let alone fall in love. I do not recommend it for anyone under 18 because it is very difficult for most to catch on to the subtle humor employed by The Bard. I doubt if it will ever be possible to capture this effectively on film although it has been attempted eight times.

I haven't read much of the supporting academic work in this edition, but I read the play itself. It was absolutely wonderful and what more could I possibly add to what has already been said about the play? It made me cry. It made me laugh. I have all the feels.

The footnotes were extremely helpful and I read the play over a few hours. It was a wonderful experience and I cannot wait to dive into more of Shakespeare's work.
