Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

1.0

---

I literally can't with the enormous amounts of stupidity in this play

Heads up; this is gonna be a bit of a rant

For a few days now, I've seen a lot of teenagers romanticising this book and it's just here we fucking go again. This book isn't romantic. It's a damn suicide pact.

If Shakespeare was trying to be romantic then he's a g-damn fucking idiot. There is so much in this that could have been changed.

First of all - The Montagues and the Capulets. Dudes grow up. "We're the two richest families here so instead of letting Romeo and Juliet marry and join our massive wealths and become an unstoppable force, we're gonna fight like children and see who's dick is bigger". Seriously, just whack them on the table and measure them guys for fucks sake

Second of all - "I'LL NEVER SEE ROMEO AGAIN, I'M GOING TO KILL MYSELF!!!!!"

WHY NOT JUST TAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS YOU'RE BOTH ENTITLED TO FROM YOUR FAMILIES AND FUCK OFF TO ANOTHER TOWN OR ANOTHER COUNTRY??? Seriously I read this back in Year Nine when I was heavily suicidal and dear g-d the amount of times I threw this book in anger or slammed it shut. I think one time I walked out of the fucking classroom it made me so angry. And why are people romanticising this crap? You'd rather die with some guy you met when you're 15 instead of moving on and finding a new guy? Lets be real in this book world, any other guy would probably be better than Romeo and vice versa. Someone rich your family likes and won't shun you for loving???? These two need to grow the fuck up.

Shakespeare massively missed it with this one. This book fucks me off so much I can't even put it into a review. You know when Rage in Inside Out gets so angry he bursts into flames? That's me whenever I read this book.

This isn't romantic. This isn't a tragedy. It's downright fucking ridiculous. Everything in this book could have actually been sorted out like damn kids stop being idiots and think outside the box a little bit.
