PR#4 Romeo and Juliet

Shakespeare wrote the drama Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet are the two major characters that drive it. My attention was drawn to Romeo’s intense desire to win Juliet over with his words. Even if the drama uses some antiquated language from the 16th century, overall, I enjoy it. My favourite scene is when Romeo enters the masquerade party covertly and Tybalt merely looks at him as if he were a stranger or a criminal. I admire how Juliet and Romeo fell in love at first sight. I adore the way the play is plotted, and there are several plots that make me feel both terrified and like I’m a part of the action of the play. I’ve never seen a romantic film that ends tragically for both families, so the play made me hesitate. I was depressed after watching this play because most movies had joyful endings. 

I’m curious as to how Montague and Capulet initially got to be rivals. Is there a history behind it? If Romeo had never met Juliet, would Mercutio still have died? Would Romeo have drunk the poison if they didn’t become enemies in the first place? Would the ending be different if they lived happily ever after? Well, I guess it’s all a mystery now.
