Ez volt az első Shakespeare könyv amit olvastam. Az első klasszikus valamint az első színdarab. 

Kicsit szokatlan volt régi nyelvezetű szöveget olvasni, de ennek ellenére viszonylag könnyen megértettem lényeget és még tetszett is.

A szereplők, véleményem szerint, eléggé ostobák voltak, ezért nem annyira éreztem kötődést hozzájuk és nem érdekelt, hogy mi fog velük történni. Talán Lőrinc barát volt az egyetlen szereplő aki tetszett.

Maga a történet elég jó volt - a két rivális család gyerekei egymásba szeretnek - viszont kicsit érthetetlen volt számomra, hogy miért halnak meg egymásért körülbelül 5 napos ismertség után. Nem reális. Mondjuk azért azt megemlítem, hogy a filmet megnéztem mielőtt ezt elolvastam, szóval nem voltak benne olyan nagy meglepetések.

"Az ég két legtündöklőbb csillagának
Tán dolga volt s megkérték, hogy szemével
Csillogjon addig, míg ők visszatérnek." - Romeo

I read this for the assigned reading, expecting it to be horrifying and horrible, but I must confess that I found the storytelling to be enjoyable (or maybe it was the impressions my class did of Romeo and Juliet when we read it or the fact we just roasted the characters every English lesson). Do I still believe that the "love at first sight" thing is a myth and absolutely absurd? Yes, I MEAN HE WAS IN LOVE WAS ROSALINE JUST TWO SECONDS AGO!! do I still believe it was a little dragged out when they killed themselves for each other? absolutely (very unrealistic but "romantic"), But in the end, I managed to comprehend, And enjoy it, will definitely be checking out more of Shakespeare's works from now on.😉

it’s not that i don’t like shakespeare, because i love him. his writing is genius and i appreciate mostly all of it. the only reason i couldn’t stand this was because romeo and juliet are some of the most insufferable characters i have ever read about. i absolutely am in awe of their annoyingness. despite this, the point was made very clear and i really did like the story. 

i might reread but probably not ☑️
