I get the "hype" surrounding it, and I imagine it was original and singular in its era... But I barely enjoyed it.
It had some pretty beautiful and lyrical writing in it, and yet so many problematic themes and sentences as well. But as the format I read mentioned, it's not an "unscathed" representation of his work; it has been polished, changed, misrepresented, misunderstood and even experimented with in the theatre.
So I guess, we really cannot know "what the poet was trying to say."

Paris is clearly meant to be a pedophile, being around Juliet's father's age yet Juliet is being forced to marry him. Misogyny is inherent in this as well. Many characters get murdered in this play, especially from act 3 onward. The play ends with Romeo and Juliet both committing suicide, and Juliet has suicidal thoughts when she decides whether or not to drink the vial of poison Friar Lawrence gives her.ran_sophia's review against another edition
