There's a reason most college students have read this at least once for class. This story is timeless, speaks to any and all generations, and touching in a way no other book can match. It's so worth reading.
That is true in some aspects. He continues to be depressed at the masquerade, until he sees Juliet for the first time. This past quarter, my entire freshmen class was required to read this classic play. Romeo is convinced by one of his friends, Mercutio, to sneak into a masquerade party held by the Capulets.
The next day, Friar Lawrence secretly marries the two. The city of Verona has one, very long lasting feud between the Montague family, and the Capulet family. This is where the play really takes off. In most movies this scene takes place with Juliet on a balcony, but the play never mentions anything of a balcony. Romeo is still depressed about breaking up with a girl named Rosaline (who we never hear from once). This is where the problem comes in.
"Romeo and Juliet" is about two, "star-cross'd lovers," named Romeo and Juliet, living in the city of Verona. Arguably the greatest book he ever wrote was "Romeo and Juliet". Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" is a very well written play. He is known across the world. Romeo and Juliet have a romantic talk with each other.
With Romeo being a Montague, and Juliet being a Capulet, their love is forbidden. The plot is not the most interesting of all time, but I enjoyed it very much. The same goes for Juliet. William Shakespeare is one of the great playwrights of all time. One event after the other occurs that twists the plot. All these events lead up to one of the most well known ending of any play in history. Although the Elizabethan style of writing is difficult to understand, it fits the play fantastically.
Some people might think that the plot is not that special and could have been thought up by anyone. The bottom line of this book is that Shakespeare was able to write a very interesting tragedy, which is what he was trying to do from the beginning. For most of us, it was the first time we had ever read it. Shakespeare is able to create a plot where everything that occurs, happens for a reason, ending in a very sad, tragic ending. It is love at first sight. After the masquerade, Romeo goes to see Juliet. Now that we look back on "Romeo and Juliet" and then see all the other love stories written in the past three hundred years, we take this play for granted.
I enjoyed this book very much, and I think any reader will like it also.
Shakespeare's goal for this play was to let the audience know that everyone can find love, and he accomplished this very well. He has written many plays, including Hamlet, Mid Summer Night Dream, and many others. While at a party, Romeo sees Juliet for the first time. Romeo and Juliet's love is forbidden and they cannot tell their parents about it. Although the play Romeo and Juliet is very well written, it was very sad. The Capulet and Montague families had been in a feud for many years. The Play Romeo and Juliet mainly focused on the aspect of love.
Romeo was a Montague and Juliet was a Capulet. The two families absolutely despise each other. Shakespeare was a great play writer. Finally, Romeo gets Juliet's attention, and Juliet also immediately falls in love with Romeo. Romeo and Juliet never wanted to be away from each other. The play of Romeo and Juliet tells the story of their love and what they had to be together forever. Shakespeare wanted to have his readers understand that they always need to live life to the fullest and believe in true love. Everyone should get a chance to read Romeo and Juliet because it teaches you many life lessons.
Most of the plays that Shakespeare wrote were about love. Overall, the play Romeo and Juliet is for all ages. Romeo Immediately fell in love with Juliet. Throughout the night he tried to get her attention. The play, Romeo and Juliet, always kept me on my toes, anxiously waiting to see what would happen next.
This is probably the most cliche novel ever written. It's boring as well and isn't even in English. Fail.
I loved this book. Its Shakespeare at his best. Great edition of this timeless classic.
