Romeo And Juliet by William ShakespeareMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Romeo and Juliet is a timeless example of when love attempts to conquer conflict but fails; which just goes to show that not every love story has a happy ending. It’s a play that many young people can relate to since the main characters are so young and dependant on their peers, and have ruling parents as well as friends offering sound advice. There are also many sexual puns held within the dialogue; making it even more attractive to teenage readers. Many mysteries are also afoot, such as the exact nature of the feud between Montague and Capulet, why Rosaline rejects Romeo and whether or not Romeo and Juliet were actually married before Tybalt’s death. It’s a very enjoyable play and one that is very well thought out; though in today’s world we would have liked to see a lot more scenes in between scenes, such as Tybalt’s funeral and his family’s reaction.
