FRESHMEN: Romeo & Juliet

As you begin Romeo & Juliet, there are two primary things I want you to think about.

1) Is Romeo a romantic character? Is he cool and suave and a "playa?" Or is he in love with the idea of being in love?

2) Is this really a love story? It's been claimed to be the most romantic story of all time, but I want you to really think about the truth of that statement.

See you guys in a few weeks.

1) To me Romeo is a romantic character. Romeo is cool but he just can't stop thinking of Juliet. Like when he first saw her he went crazy and started to talk about her and how beautiful she is, I mean wow just stop talking and just go talk to her GOSHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!


2) The story is NOT a romantic story, because there are to many bad situations where people die that were really important and also there was a situation where the couples are separated. Also at
the end Romeo kills himself because he never knew Juliet was actually a sleep so then he kills himself with poison. Then when Romeo dies Juliet wakes up and notices him dead so she gets a dagger and stabs herself, HOW IS THAT ROMANTIC. This story has more surprises than romance.
