Notes
Romeo & Juliet was the first book/play that I read that really made me appreciate the beauty of words. Shakespeare tells a powerful and thought-provoking story about the harsh brutality of love. The last line never fails to make me cry: “For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”
Favourite Quotes
“That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet.”
“These violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume.”
“Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath, hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.”
“Eyes, look your last! Arms take your last embrace! And, lips, O you the doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss.”

I wrote a truly gigantic review just for the app to reload and erase everything, so I will be simple and fast this time around, cause in pissed:
- Loved Juliet and Friar Lourenço, 'cause they are the only people with working brains in this play;
- Also loved Mercúcio 'cause he is funny and gay (fight me);
- Romeo is an anoying spoiled brat that had to make up problems in his life since he had none;
- Liked the discussions on gender roles and how woman were viewed only as wife, daughter or sex object for men, although Shakespeare was a white man in the 1500, so you never know if he is really being critical or just punishing his characters for breaking the norm;
- The simbolism of love being a kind of violence is neat;
- They didn't actually love each other, Romeo just wanted to be in love and Juliet wanted freedom from her father.
