Not only is Romeo and Juliet one of the greastest classics of the XV century , is one of the most intense and tragic love stories of all time, (in my opinion)."Don't waste your love on somebody who doesn't value it"
Two families immersed in conflict and hatred, two young souls enamored on the wrong family name and this pure and intense love that consumed the young souls to the ground.
Shakespeare said it himself while writting this masterpiece,
; and so they did."Those violent delights, have violent ends"
We would think that dying would be the most awful fate we could atchive, but what is to be in love with somebody and not be able to love them because it's something forbidden by others, by our own families?
So maybe, their is something worse that dying.

I read this meme somewhere, it went somewhat like," imagine if only Romeo had cried a little longer at her grave", and so we should always weep a little longer

The play is best read quickly, as with other plays, and the entire play only lasts about 3 days in the story. The comic relief that the characters Mercutio and Nurse provide make this play very fun to read and even act in! My major dislike with this novel is that both Romeo and Juliet meet, fall in love, and then die for each other in the span of only 3 days. For me that just seems too unrealistic to happen.

I can rely to your opinion. It's certainly well written (as you say, it's Shakspeare) but still, it's a shortcut story of three days love of some kids, with overly dramatic approach to life. As much as a message behind the story is clear and of certain importance, it doesn't seem like it deserves that much to become included to classics of literature, and moreover - I fail to understand why it has become a school reading while there are so many books that could have some more meaningful impact on developing teenage minds.lindyk93 wrote: ↑13 Feb 2014, 15:03 Romeo and Juliet is one of my least favorite books. I detest a story about a three day romance between a thirteen year old and a seventeen year old. Now, part of the reason I do not like it is because of the hype it gets from middle/high school girls. That aside, it is well written (I mean it is Shakespeare) and is not a bad story. The lesson of the feuding families is very important for people to remember as well. Sometimes you just need to put your own feeling aside when love is blooming.
