Rome & Juliet, this play has completely captivated me. Before getting to see Romeo & Juliet I already knew about it, I mean, is a very famous play but I didn’t know how it ended. When we watched the movie I felt sadness because of these two families and all of the hate that they had towards each other. I find incredible how far our ego and our sense of revenge can go and for these two families it ended in loosing their two children. On the other hand, we have love. Love has always been my favorite topic in books, songs, and movies, this one was not the exception. I enjoyed every single minute of the movie and watching the development of these characters while they fell in love with each other. I think that is very interesting how also the times have changed. Years ago it was normal to get married at 14 as we see in the movie and also that our parents made deals with our future husband to get a monetary benefit from the engagement; I don’t think this is right and when I saw it in the movie I felt impotence for Juliet because that was not what she wanted but her parents wanted to force her.
The prologue was a complete different experience. Ever since I was little I have had a very good memory, it is very easy for me to memorize things but when I have to present, that’s the difficult part. I get very nervous when I have to talk in front of people and I tend to forget everything but besides of that I enjoyed it. I liked the way they spoke before (or in Shakespeare’s plays), they used Shakespeare’s formal use of language that we don’t get to see now and that make it more difficult.
