Romeo and Juliet










Romeo and Juliet is a wonderful yet sad love story. It also has some funniness to it and is filled with puns and morals. The language may be hard to understand since it is Shakespearean, but it's still a beautiful novel. It is very inspiring. The romance and the connection between Romeo and Juliet shows that they are destined to be together.




It is sad because so many people die and all because of love. See, Romeo's family and Juliet's family hate each other and are fighting, although the reason isn't told and probably not even remembered, they still despise each other. But the argument of their families cannot keep them apart. They are willing to take their lives for one another.
The best moral, in my opinion, is that fighting is useless and love should conquer hate. The families learned a lesson by the love that Romeo and Juliet have. The script is very well written and the characters are very interesting and distinct. Romeo and his friends, Benvolio (cousin) and Mercutio, are all very different from each but they still have each other's back.
Romeo is a loving, brave young man of 16. While Juliet is a sweet girl that is only 13. They meet at Juliet's family's party and fall in complete love. They have to hide and sneak just to see each other and then they have to make their wedding a private one. They get the Friar Lawrence and Juliet's Nurse to help them.
All in all this is probably one of the best romance books ever written. I advise anyone who has never read it to do so. It gives me a different aspect on the idea of love.
I give this book, Romeo and Juliet, 5 stomps.
