Romeo and Juliet

Ok, about 2 weeks ago, my class started Romeo and Juliet.
I find it really annoying to read this and find it harder to understand.
But thankfully our English teacher red it about 5 times and understands it!

After we read a scene, she will translate what we tried to read!:D

 

Oh dear, you know how students are.

 

Yes, any of Shakeshere's works are difficult to understand. If you want a detailed translations on his works, I suggest you visit sparknotes.com, It helped me a lot when I had to learn about him. There is even a class at my school called Shakeshere, but there is no way in hell I would take it. xD

Btw, why is this in "intelligent dicussion?" I believe it should fall under "anything else"...

 

Because the technobabble of genius' are extremely hard to understand.

 

I do believe it's Shakespeare and I rather enjoyed reading his works in High School. I never did get to read Romeo and Juliet. We read Taming of the Shrew, Julius Ceaser, and MacBeth though and I've read just about every other play of his on my own time.

Though, my English teachers always gave me the big speaking parts since I actually read the part with emotion.:D

 

My class just started Romeo and Juliet about two weeks ago. It is very, very hard to understand, but my textbook has a translation of it, and my teacher explains it to us whenever somethings sounds really confusing to us.

 

Butterflies? Why is it always butterflies?

 

I really don't know why it's always butterflies.

 

Oh, I found my answer.

 

Oh nice.

You're reading a book about how 2 new-wed's want to have sex...the whole ****ing story.

Mercutio ish mah fav.


EDIT: You guys have trouble understanding this book? You mean the wording/grammar fixations, right? I hope.

 

Pretty much Romeo and Juliet is about how these kids want to be married and have sex but being from different families, it's not likely to happen.

Their solution?

LET'S COMMIT SUICIDE! CAUSE IF WE CAN'T BE MARRIED TO EACH OTHER WE CAN'T BE MARRIED TO ANYONE ELSE! 8D

 

Ah yes, the solution to everything.

 

Romeo and Juliet. Hated it.

No, not because I couldn't understand it, I could. It's just one of the worst love stories I've ever read. I don't know why people say it is.

Romeo was a sex-crazed imbecile who didn't know the definition of love, and Juliet was a woman of cowardice who constantly ran away from her problems.

Shakespeare is a good poet, and some of his darker works are good. But I'm sorry, when it comes to love, he has lovely words, but really crappy stories.

 

That's not how it happened~! x3


By the way, what are we supposed to be intelligently discussing here?

 

Yeah, I don't really see how this belongs in Intelligent Discussion. =/

-Moved-

To be on topic, I've never read it.

 

Romeo and Juliet is a terrible story that tends to bore you more than interest you, even at the most "loving" parts.

 

Pssh on Romeo and Juliet, you want a good Shakespeare story?

Read A Midsummer Night's Dream. Now that is a good one. Robin GoodFellow/Puck FTW

 

I found King Lear and Othello to be his better ones.

 

Dude you have it easy, last year when my class had to read it we had to translate the entire story into chat room or 1337 speak........yea talk about ****ing hell -_-

That damn book gave me half a year of pain and misery T.T

 

The story is ok... IMHO characters like Tybalt and Mercutio were WAY more interesting ten Romeo and Juliet themselves.
