Such a difficult required read for a middle schooler in my opinion. But I tried to get through it and understand what was happening because I was always interested in the storyline of romeo and juliet. I was a sucker for any plotline with romance.

Most of the time, if you force me to read something in school I won't like it. Thankfully, Shakespeare was always the exception. Romeo and Juliet, while not my favourite of Shakespeare's plays, is still a fantastic one, and was perfect for grade ten.

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
