Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
3.0

This is may be the first time I've read this play after high school. Let me first say that the writing is superb! However, I now see this play as more of a dark comedy vs. a tragedy because...these kids (and the adults TBH) are truly dumb. I mean, this all takes place within 4 days...and Romeo was whining about Rosaline the whole first act because she wouldn't acknowledge him or give him any (literally, smart girl). Then he just happens to see Juliet at a party (one he went to solely to spy on Rosaline) and they fall in love at first sight? I really can not and I'm never having kids, haha.
