Recently I’ve begun reading Romeo& Juliet by Shakespeare. I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of if but I’d love to share with you my thoughts so far. I haven’t met all of the characters in Romeo and Juliet so far. But you can obviously realize the hatred the Montague’s and Capulets have for each other. They are two families that have ancient grudges for each other for a really long time. We don’t quite know why the two families are fighting with each other. Though you can predict that the grudge could have started with Capulet and Montague or their fathers and grandfathers. I really like the language in Shakespeare even though I cant always understand all of it, but because understanding is a challenge it makes it more interesting to read. Also it helps expand your knowledge. I also really like the character Mercutio because I think he’s funny and clever and is more realistic than Romeo and he’s mature and even though he’s Romeo’s Cousin he acts like a big brother/ mentor, which is really interesting to me. Some of my classmates inferred that Mercutio is going to be bad and sinister because his name has mercury in it. I have to disagree because I really think Mercutio is the best character and he’ll always be by Romeo’s side to guide.
I really think that you should read Romeo& Juliet so we can talk about it more and share our thoughts it is actually a really great book its really funny and like most Shakespeare works it is mixed with three themes: Tragedy, Comedy and love which are so contrasting but they fit perfectly together its almost crazy.
