romeo and juliet
polycounter lvl 18
it is a horrible horrible book for a plethora of reasons.
1) its in horrible rhyming old english which nobody spoke even then
2) romeo is a fucking pussywhipped little fellow. he goes out and does everything, makes arangements for the marriage, kills tybalt and all this nonsense.
3) the fucking horribly boring innuendo. "oh my pump is well flowered" shut the fuck up romeo you twat.
4) they've known eachother for 20 fucking minutes and he proposes so he can get some of that tail and juliet fuckin goes along with it the naive little skank.
5) OH LOOK AT ME IM IN LOVE WITH SOME PERSON I DONT EVEN KNOW AND SINCE THEY ARE DEAD I CANT FUCK THEM LOOKS LIKE IM GOING TO KILL MYSELF
6) romeo was just in love with this fuckin rosaline girl and shes not even in the fucking play, she sounded like a hot piece of ass that one. juliet just a little fucking 14 year old retarded girl.
7) the only redeeming thing about this whole thing was tybalt, he fucking did something. he was right about romeo not being good enough for juliet, romeo is a fucking little pussy whipped douche but then again juliet is a retarded skank so maybe they would be a good couple. a couple of morons. tybalt also killed that annoying mercutio character who spoke in sexual innuendos.
im glad shakespeare had syphillis and died, but not after writing ceaser. i thought ceaser was ok.

hey and shakesspear was acturally a legend and I bet alot of people,despite its soppiness enjoy and acturally like the romeo juliet story.
But just try studying proper english mishra and use a dictionary to find words that describe your feelings rather than swearing.

It's the quintessential tragic love story. The only reason it seems hackneyed now is because it has been imitated and reproduced for hundreds of years now.

Or maybe it seems hackneyed only to 15 year olds who can't write an opinion about a work written in 1595 without cussin' all over the place and talking like he has seen it all and knows everything.
Teenage angst lol.
I didn't think Romeo & Juliet was all that bad a read. Go try Wuthering Heights now, Mishra.
Funnily enough I loved the cartoon version I saw of that when I was about 10,I thought 'yeah, thats just how girls are!'.... I must have been a weird kid!
1) His comedies translate a lot better than his tragedies.
2) I really wish people would stop trying to adapt his work to different scenarios. Be it oddballs like Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet or acclaimed classics like Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood, I generally find those sort of adaptations to be almost unwatchable.
15 year old boys are cool
I don't even know what to say... you're a 15 year old boy talking about a play written a long time ago when everything was different, describing Romeo as being "a pussy whipped little bitch who wants a piece of ass from some stupid ass skank LOLOL!"
It's probably just doesn't suit your taste, so you fail to see the historical significance of the play.
Mishra. It's a romance story in the grandest sense, so yeah, it's going to be very exhaggerated and floofy.
p.s. 16 olololwtf
Here is one that's closer to your reading level.

Ahah! I remember reading Wuthering Heights in highschool. I don't remember much about the book other than how the condition of the moor reflected the attitudes of the owners of the 2 manors. Or some bs like that.
I saw bits of the movie version on TV... but hardly remember anything apart from Ralph Fiennes playing the main character.
I should either find the movie or read the book again just to refresh my memory.
I got an F.
I can't recommend the Baz Luhrmann one with Leo and Claire, but I can urge you to try 'West Side Story', which is cool and swingin' in its own right, and it actually has the R+J story buried inside it.
And don't be such a teenage know-it-all. That way lies madness.

There is, however, a Japanese adaptation of Macbeth called, naturally, Shogun Macbeth, that I was dying to do. The very idea is just too weird.

Throne of Blood, which I mentioned disliking above, is a feudal Japanese version of Macbeth.
Charlotte Bronte, you suck, and Emily Bronte, you are awesome.

Jeez, If you *really* wanna be bored utterly rigid, read some Jane Austin. I studied English literature at school, for the sole reason that I would get to be one of only a couple of boys amongst a class full of girls.

Gah, I here you there. All though ol' Jane was responsible for some really good mid-class sketches which served as a means of both entertaining myself and preventing a the ever-creeping grasp of a bordem induced coma.

Perhaps if you had paid more attention in your English class, you would have realised the third word in your post should have been "hear". And you might have used "although". And "Boredom"
Mishra: Man, you ARE a teenager. Sheesh.

actually we are reading west side story aswell, i think romeo and juliet is better than that and uses more common language which is weird. the movie though is ace for the simple fact of there being gangs going around dancing and snapping at eachother.
but seriously, romeo and juliet is kind of illogical, they do not know eachother but this stuff still happens.
And I played Romeo in High School....
And Pip in Great Expectations.
I love Romeo & Juliet, was not impressed with Wuthering Heights.
Don't forget the Great Gatsby!
The girl who played juliet in the movie we were made to watch in class was hot...like the sun is hot. And she was only 13, yet showed her bewbies.

heheh, I remember seeing that movie in middle school (Junior High) and the teacher didn't screen it before hand so she flipped at the nudity scene.
my teacher refers to claire danes as a hot piece of snatch : /
oh you're talking about the ancient 1960s romeo and juliet right? yeah my teachers opted to show us the 1996 one.
(according to IMDB Olivia Hussey was 17 when R&J was released)
