Insights about the classic Romeo and Juliet
By orange2001
I know people ask this all the time, but I really wanted to hear what everyone thinks about this Shakespeare classic, because I’m kind of stuck with only one takeaway. What are your thoughts on what the characters do and how the events unfold through the story? My own feeling is that it’s mainly about how important love is, but I feel like there’s something deeper there that I just can’t quite figure out. English and I don’t really get along, but I did my best to say this clearly.
