I struggled with getting through it, I just need to get a bit more used to Shakespearean English. However, this is the first full Shakespeare play I have read, and it wasn’t too difficult. I hate Romeo though.

A school literature, but still not to bad.

I read this for the assigned reading, expecting it to be horrifying and horrible, but I must confess that I found the storytelling to be enjoyable (or maybe it was the impressions my class did of Romeo and Juliet when we read it or the fact we just roasted the characters every English lesson). Do I still believe that the "love at first sight" thing is a myth and absolutely absurd? Yes, I MEAN HE WAS IN LOVE WAS ROSALINE JUST TWO SECONDS AGO!! do I still believe it was a little dragged out when they killed themselves for each other? absolutely (very unrealistic but "romantic"), But in the end, I managed to comprehend, And enjoy it, will definitely be checking out more of Shakespeare's works from now on.😉
