 This actually wasn’t as bad as I remember. Shock, gasp. I know. This is the play a lot of people shit on, but, really, the plot is pretty solid when it comes down to it. I’m not a huge fan of it since I don’t like reading about idiotic people in love, but it’s spot on for depicting young love.



Anyways, the language is also hilarious and beautiful. There are so many damn puns that you catch in here and I know there are more that I didn’t catch. Two of my favorite characters are the feature of these puns. First, you get Mercutio.



Then there’s the Nurse.



They’re hilarious on their own. So many sexual puns and ramblings that they steal the show every time they’re on stage. But put them together? That word duel was fantastic and hilarious.
