YES! I agree wholeheartedly! It's a good story, but so many people focus on the relationship of Romeo and Juliet rather than the impacts of hatred.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.

The play is a timeless classic, and its themes of love, loyalty, and tragedy are still relevant today. The story's central conflict between two families, and the consequences it has on the two lovers, is something that many people can relate to. The play also explores the power of love, and its ability to overcome all obstacles, even death.
Romeo and Juliet is a classic piece of literature that is sure to captivate audiences of all ages. Its themes of love, tragedy, and loyalty will continue to resonate with readers for years to come.

This play is considered one of the most famous and certainly the best
I advise teenagers and older people to read or even learn about the story because it will be interesting for them (teenagers)

Regarding the characters I think they are all very accurate and play a very important role. The main characters, Romeo and Juliet, are the ones I liked the most, because despite the hatred between their families they put their love before any inconvenience that may arise. As for the secondary characters, I want to highlight Fray Lorenzo, because he is very kind and does everything possible so that things between Romeo and Juliet go well.
The setting, is based on the fifteenth century as in the play we can find samples of it, such as the costumes, or the palace in which Juliet lives. It seemed to me a very successful time because the romantic plot is well set among castles and walls.
In conclusion, the story in general has seemed to me very romantic and at the same time interesting, since I did not expect it to end like this. The work has moved me on several occasions and that is why I recommend it to people who like tragedies and at the same time romantic works.
