I had to read this and on Tuesday i will have to take a test on it. I love this play, now that it's done. I jsut got lost sometimes on the old english.
"Do you bite your thumb at me, sir?" :lol:

We watched part of the Leonardo one and it woulda been really cool if they left out a couple of scenes...oh well.
It is a wordly movie.
What do y'all think of this classic?

I love Romeo and Juliet and I really like the Baz Luhrmann version of the movie. some things in it are a little crazy (Mercutio...) but otherwise I thought he did a great job with it. I thought John Leguizamo as Tybalt was pretty cool. "Peace? I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee!"

I'd like to read Romeo and Juliet again...

I read it and enjoyd it, unfortunatly it is done so often and quoted everywhere. Because of this combined with the old englesh I find it quite a bore. Don't get me wrong, it's great, but I have had enough of it for the next ten years, thank you very much.

I watcher Much Ado about Nothing,and remember how funny it was, though now I know not why.
Any Romeo and Juliet trivia? Here's one of mine: How many teeth does the nurse have?

Much as I enjoy Shakespeare, this is one of my least favorite plays of those that I have read. Mostly, this is because of overexposure--reading the play two or three times in junior high and high school, watching the play a handful of times, and constantly seeing references to it. Also, although it contains quite a bit of good poetry, the basic premise of the plot is not one that interests me terribly.

Same here Kaori. When we read it in high school, I kept getting the secondary characters mixed up. Plus, about halfway through the play all I kept thinking was, "Will they kill themselves already?!?!?" In Shakespeare's defense however, I did enjoy Othello and A Midsummer Night's Dream. My college is putting on the play in a couple of weeks. I hope there is a decent turnout since I'm on running crew.

As a freshman, I don't know what y'all are talking about! I love it, but i've only read it once. I dunno, I guess i just go for the tragedies. I love Gladiator and the Last Samurai. For some reason sad movies make Me feel better.(plays too)
