Romeo and Juliet, abridged.

ROMEO: I'm Romeo, and I used to be emo and annoying merely at present I'm so totally in luuuuurve and it's AWESOME.

MERCUTIO: Okay, three things: I, at that place's only room in this play for one awesome grapheme and information technology'south me, bitch. 2, you're still emo and annoying. Iii, didn't you say that exact same stuff yesterday virtually Rosaline?

ROMEO: Who?

*meanwhile, Juliet prances around her room and draws hearts on things and scribbles "Mrs. Juliet Montague" in her diary over and over. Because she is THIRTEEN. How one-time is Romeo supposed to be? Allow's not talk about that, k?*

CAPULET: Good news, Juliet! I constitute you a husband!

PARIS: Hello, I'm a consummate tool.

JULIET: Daddy, I don't want to marry that patently decent and unflawed guy! I'm in love with Romeo Montague – we met yesterday and it was HOT.

CAPULET: I Will BE DAMNED IF I Meet MY But Girl MARRIED TO THE ONLY SON OF THE MAN WHO IS MY MORTAL ENEMY FOR REASONS Also UNIMPORTANT TO SPECIFY IN THIS PLAY!

JULIET: *stamps foot, runs off to her room to watch High School Musical again and sulk*

TYBALT: Hey Romeo, your mother was a hamster and your begetter smelt of elderberries!

MONTAGUE POSSE: Oh, snap.

MERCUTIO: You TAKE THAT BACK!

TYBALT: MAKE ME!

ROMEO: No! You can't fight him, Mercutio

because I already married his cousin!

TYBALT: I KEEL Yous!

*Romeo attempts to stop the fight and fails miserably*

MERCUTIO: FUCK YOU ALL! *dies*

ROMEO: Okay, forget what I said about not fighting. I KEEL YOU!

TYBALT: *dies*

PRINCE: I've had enough of your shit, Emo McStabbypants. You're banished.

ROMEO: Waaaaaahhhhhh! I'grand banished and Juliet is going to ally another guy and it's non fair WHY DOES GOD Hate ME?

FRIAR LAURENCE: Jesus Christ, not this again. Okay, if you promise to grow a pair, I'll help you and your married woman out. Hither's the plan: she takes a potion that'll brand her go into a coma, and so she'll get put in the family tomb and and so you'll sneak dorsum into town, intermission into the tomb, wait until she wakes up, and then the 2 of you escape and alive happily ever afterwards! Information technology's perfect!

Audience: …the hell?

*Shockingly, the plan fails. Romeo goes back to the tomb (pausing to kill Paris just for good measure), merely he thinks Juliet's dead and drinks poison and dies, and so like two seconds later on she wakes up and sees that Romeo isn't mostly dead like she was, he's dead, so she stabs herself.*

MONTAGUE: Wow, we are awful parents.

CAPULET: I take an idea – allow's make solid golden statues of our dead children to commemorate their love and serve equally a constant reminder of the fact that our only children killed themselves considering we were such uncaring parents.

*they actually do this.*

SHAKESPEARE: Beat that, Stephenie Meyer.

THE END.

I'thousand not certain what annoys me more - the play that elevated a story about two teenagers meeting at a ball and instantly "falling in love" so deciding to get married after knowing each other for i night into the about well-known love story of all time, or the middle schools that feed this to kids of the same historic period group as the main characters to support their angst-filled heads with the idea that yep, they actually are in love with that guy/girl they met 5 minutes ago, and no one can stop them, especially not their meddling parents!

Keep in heed that Juliet was THIRTEEN YEARS Quondam. (Her begetter states she "hath not still seen the change of 14 years" in 1.2.9). Even in Shakespeare'due south England, virtually women were at least 21 before they married and had children. It'south not clear how old Romeo is, but either he's likewise a stupid picayune child who needs to be slapped, or he'south a kid molester, and neither one is a good matter.

When I was in middle school or high schoolhouse, effectually the time we read this book, I remember a classmate saying in form that when her and her boyfriends' eyes met across the quad, they just knew they were meant to be together forever. How convenient that her soulmate happened to be an immensely pop and good-looking football thespian, and his soulmate happened to be a gorgeous cheerleader! That's non dear at offset sight, that's lust at first sight. If they were actually lucky, peradventure as time went on they would also happen to "click" very well, that lust would develop into dear (it didn't), and they would finish upwardly together forever (they didn't). But if they saw each other at a school trip the light fantastic, decided they were "similar, totally in love," and then the side by side day decided to run off and get married, we shouldn't encourage that as a romantic dearest story, nosotros should slap the hell out of them both to wake them up to reality.

For what information technology's worth, my pessimism doesn't come from any bitterness towards life or love. I met my married woman when nosotros were 17, and we've now been together nigh x years, married for a trivial over 2. Fortunately for me, she turned out to be crawly. If nosotros had decided the solar day after coming together each other that we were hopelessly in love and needed to get married immediately, we would have been idiots, and I hope someone who I trusted and respected would have slapped me, hard. If nosotros were 13 at the time, that would be even worse. Enlightened adults injecting this into our youth every bit a classic dearest story for the generations, providing further support for their malaise-filled false ideas of beloved and marriage, is probably worst of all.

      THIS!
      This is what happens when y'all spring into a rebound relationship with both feet.
      And then, when the story opens, Romeo is desperately in love with Rosaline. But since she won't surrender the booty has sworn to remain chaste, he's all depressed and heartbroken.
      Annoying emo style.

      His friends, tired of his abiding whining, give him a Beyoncé mixtape.
      He takes her words to center, and her lyrics begin to mend his broken soul.

      His boys drag his sad ass to a party, and across a crowded room, Romeo spies his next victim...er, his really-really for real this time True Dearest.

      Run into 13 twelvemonth old Juliet.
      Who is thirteen.

      description

      And how old is Romeo? Well, he's old enough to kill Juliet'due south cousin in a sword fight, then...yep. Probably not xiii.
      But since he's such a punk fiddling pussy - what with the whining, sobbing, and spouting off crap poetry - I'one thousand going to assume he's not much older than she is and say fifteen or 16.
      If I'm wrong, don't right me. Information technology'll help me slumber tonight.

      description

      Tragically, Juliet is a Hatfield, and Romeo is a McCoy. Their families have been feuding over a McCoy hog that was killed during a Hatfield moonshine run decades ago. Totally true. I swear.
      Needless to say, tensions are nonetheless running loftier.
      Then. Shhhhh. They gotta go on their love on the down low.
      And it is love, dammit! I mean, they've stared at each other a whole bunch, and had similar ii conversations.

      description

      This time effectually, Romeo isn't going to brand the same mistake as earlier, and let the

      new girl of his dreams slip through his fingers...
      Fuck, yeah! Time to get married!
      Because marriage will solve all your problems. No, really.
      Little finger promise!

      description

      And we all know what happened next, right?!

      description

      Well...Ish.
      Y'all know, I can't help simply wonder what that first encounter would've been like if they'd met when they were older?

      Romeo: Hey babe, Sky must be missing an angel. Listen if I crawl up to your balustrade this night?

      description

      Juliet: The fuck?!

      description

      *taser crackles...Romeo screams*

      Anyhoo, this isn't a romance, information technology'south a cautionary tale.
      And a pretty funny one at that! I originally gave it 3 stars, just I had to bump it upwards for making me giggle and then much. Betwixt Romeo & Juliet both crying, moping, and twirling around similar tweenage girls and the residue of the cast flailing around to adjust these idiots, this was waaaaaay better than I remembered it.

      description

      I listened to this on Playaway, so I got to have the audio version with a full bandage of characters, sound effects, and music. Loved it! Totally recommend going this style if yous're planning on trying out Shakespeare.

      The people who dislike this play are the ones who view common sense over being rational, and adopt to view the earth in a structured style. One of the main arguments that come up beyond is the 'coming together, falling in love, and dying all in a weekend when Juliet is but xiii'. Nosotros all must die in the end, so wouldn't yous want to in the name of love than of an atrocious disease?
      Mayhap the two lovers weren't truly in love, but their last living moments were spent believing so, and so what does it matter? How can one truly know if one is in love? Is information technology a feeling? In that case, what is a feeling? If you believe you are in honey, and then you lot may equally well be, contrary to what others might say.
      The argument with the 'weak' plot; Shakespeare didn't invent Romeo and Juliet. It was infact a poem which is constantly being adjusted over time. Shakespeare did add in some aspects but the meeting in the ballroom, Tybalts expiry, the sleeping draught and such were already in the poem.

      I personally love this play, purely considering it'southward an escape from this modern world. I'm not saying I similar the treatment of women, nor the fighting, but it's like a different world that i'm never going to experience, and reading information technology through Shakespeare's gorgeous writing makes Verona seem all the more romantic.

        Two things struck me during this re-reading:

        1) From the beginning scene of the play, the sexual puns are drenched in metaphorical violence (drawing your weapon, laying knife aboard, forcing women to the wall, etc.), creating a stark dissimilarity with the purity of Romeo and Juliet'due south love and language, and

        ii) Mercutio, the Nurse and Former Capulet are something totally new both in Shakespeare and also in English drama, that is, characters who are not only realistic but whose language completely reflects their idea processes to the point where they accept on a life of their own. Shakespeare would create many other such characters, just these three are the first.

        Romeo and Juliet = The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare

        Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy, written by William Shakespeare early on in his career, about two immature star-crossed lovers, whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families.

        Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity.

        The plot is based on an Italian tale translated into verse equally The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet past Arthur Brooke in 1562 and retold in prose in Palace of Pleasure past William Painter in 1567.

        Shakespeare borrowed heavily from both but expanded the plot by developing a number of supporting characters, particularly Mercutio and Paris.

        Believed to have been written between 1591 and 1595, the play was first published in a quarto version in 1597.

        The text of the start quarto version was of poor quality, all the same, and later on editions corrected the text to arrange more closely with Shakespeare's original.

        يعني انت عامل فيها : روميو؟
        سؤال استنكاري مرح..لا يعني عبر العالم كله سوى انك عاشق بجنون
        نادرة هي الشخصيات الادبية التي تقفز خارج السطور..لتتحول إلى أساطير واقعية..نلفظ باسمها بدلا من جمل تملأ مجلدات

        و سر خلود شخصية روميو.انه احد الرجال القلائل في الأدب..و في الواقع".ممن ضحوا بحياتهم من أجل الحب"

        الحب هو مفتاح شخصية ذلك الشاب الذكي..حاد اللسان..المفتقر إلى الوسطية
        زاده حبه لجولييت نزقاً..و ليس نضجا

        و على النقيض نجد جولييت..فرغم سنواتها ال 14تتبلور شخصيتها بعد وقوعها في الحب ..و تتحول لفتاة ذات إرادة و قوة..وفي خلال 5ايام هي كل عمر قصة الحب التي صدعتنا لقروون..تحولت لامرأة وفية قادرة.. ✒
        و من الغريب حقا ..ان مدارس العالم اتفقت علي ان تقررها على الطلبة في سن 14-15..لا اعلم ..من باب الإنذار و لا التشجيع؟

        على المستوى الشخصي أري ان شكسبير كان موفقا حقا في اختيار هذا السن الصغير..هكذا صار من حقه..التمادي الىاقصى مدى في تطورات هذا الحب ..و أثبت لنا للمرة المائة ..ان ذكائه و خياله كان سابقا لعصره✏
        وصالحا لكل العصور...ويكفيه فخرا أن روميو هو اللقب الذي يحظى به كل عاشق ..بعد مرور 4قرون كاملة
