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 in English class, taking up the parts of Paris, Romeo, and the Prince. A pretty good story, but i wouldn’t have read it if I wasn’t forced to.

Would y’all kill me if i said that this play is probably one of Shakespeare’s most misunderstood works. It’s really not a play about what stupid teenagers do when they’re in love and more about unjustified and senseless violence and how it not only hurts those who perpetrate that violence, but also innocent people, children. The roles that Romeo and Juliet play are forced upon them. They are forced to become child martyrs when all they wanted to be were lovers. Romeo and Juliet’s love did not murder Mercutio, Tybalt, Lady Montague, or even Romeo and Juliet themselves (although an argument could be made for Paris), it was the blood feud between the two houses that set the stage for their deaths. Whether or not the love between Romeo and Juliet was genuine is not the point, the point is that two children should not have to die in order to stop the adults from fighting.
