Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
2.0

2.5/5
Right so don’t get me wrong, Shakespeare is great! But this sucks. It’s got some beautiful soliloquies and sonnets. The use of foreshadowing is brilliant too! But the plot is just bad. It’s a 3 day relationship that rushed into marriage so they could have sex which caused the deaths of so many people. I just wish the plot was as good as the techniques used to write it.
