5.0

This is the saddest thing I have ever read. It was so good and I can definitely tell why this has survived the test of time. Shakespeare really knew what he was doing.

dark emotional funny mysterious reflective tense medium-paced

My Advice to those reading this is NOT a love story. This is a tragedy, and it's best to treat it as such. Even if you do find it cringe (*ahem* Romeo)

That being said, this is a well-written play, but It's not my favorite of Shakespeare's work. I wasn't a big fan of it in 9th grade, and I'm not a big fan of it now. But I do understand the underlying messages once you get past all the cringy and comedic moments of the entire play.
