Romeo and Juliet




I do not like this book.
That's it. No more, no less. I just don't enjoy Shakespeare's most famous tragedy.
Maybe the reason I don't like Romeo and Juliet is because of the language and the writing style. Half the time he speaks in 3rd person, like an onlooker, but then he speaks from the point of view of Romeo and Benevolio. And then there's Emotional Romeo. He's such an whiner! And for a guy who's roughly 17, he's really talkative about his emotions.
I like Juliet though. She seems leveled headed and has her little priorities straight. I think she doesn't want to marry any time soon, especially to her cousin, COUNTY PARIS,  but she sort of agrees to because she's an obedient child. I don't like her Nurse either. She talks ways to much and clings to Juliet a lot. It almost seems like she wants to replace the image of Susan, her dead daughter, with Juliet.

  1. I totally agree on the whole Romeo-Juliet split. Romeo and very whiny and comes off as immature while Juliet is humble and seems to know what she's doing.
