emotional

medium-paced
4.5
I finally read this play, one of the greatest piece of literature to ever be written and the most well known love story.
I'm quite proud of myself since I understood everything in it despite being French, English is not my native language and it is Shakespeare's English which makes it harder to understand, also since I already knew the story it made it easier, if I went into it without knowing anything I probably would have been a bit more lost.
The reason I did not rate it 5 stars is because I still feel like everything happens too quickly, which is quite normal for a play, it cannot last for too long but it was a bit unsettling for me.
