To quote my classmate, Romeo is “a melodramatic puddle of a person”. I wholeheartedly agree with this statement because emo-Romeo was my least favorite character in this play. I also hate every adult in this play. I thought the Friar and Capulet were the best characters, but Lo and behold I hated them at the end. The writing itself was very well done but I disliked every character except for Mercutio and Benvolio. In summary, Shakespeare is better at sentence structure and conveying emotion through words than creating good characters.

First time reading this play fully from start to finish, rather than as a school project or an attempt to find specific quotes. I’ll always be amused by people calling this a love story - it’s very much a tragedy
