I already knew what Romeo and Juliet was about before reading it and seeing the movie, but still, it made me feel a bunch of emotions. It’s a really hard story to watch because of the complexity of it, how the protagonists just by being born in those families have their destiny sealed. Their parents never imagined that an emotion stronger than resentment would create a fatal destiny. Is a love tragedy that now for decades has been portrayed in a bunch of different media, is a classic that all people should know about.
Talking about the way it was written we can find different sentences and words that we as a more modern audience can find hard to understand and if it’s not portrayed properly in a play or a movie can be confusing, that happened to me while reading the play, for example, in act 1, the part where they start fighting about the rivals biting their thumbs to them if I didn’t saw the movie I wouldn’t understand what those this meant.
Overall, I enjoyed getting to know more about this classic play, romance is one of my favorite genres, and learning about this made the English class more fun.
