Best book I have read in my entire life!!

Agh! Shakespearean language is so hard to translate!!! 😖

English set work.

Classic! Read it during my freshman year at high school! Great play! Shakespeare is amazing!

Finishing this for tomorrow

Reading in advance of teaching freshmen! Long swords and ho ought to be fun for them!

Rereading for my teaching program. Have no idea how to discuss it with pupils properly, but surely will be a lot of fun. *sarcasm*

I practically know this off by heart now!! Haha

Prodigious birth of love it is to me, that I must love a loathed enemy.

I'm reading this book for the fifth time in my English class

Reading R+J in honors english

It is too rough, too rude, too boisterous and it pricks like thorns!

I'm obsessed with this book. NEVER putting this down.

Excited to be reading this with my students!!

So excited to be reading this with my students!!!

So sad how hate destroys the lives of five young people. :( But such a good read!

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life...

I was in my moms attic yesterday and found a box of my high school things and came across my old paperback copy. I pulled it out and decided to crack it open once again.

'Tis torture, and not mercy: heaven is here,
Where Juliet lives; and every cat and dog
And little mouse, every unworthy thing,
Live here in heaven and may look on her;

'Tis torture, and not mercy: heaven is here,
Where Juliet lives; and every cat and dog
And little mouse, every unworthy thing,
Live here in heaven and may look on her;
But Romeo may not: more validity,
More honourable state, more courtship lives
In carrion-flies than Romeo: they my seize
On the white wonder of dear Juliet's hand
And steal immortal blessing from her lips,
Who even in pure and vestal modesty,
Still blush, as thinking their own kisses sin;
But Romeo may not; he is banished:
Flies may do this, but I from this must fly:
They are free men, but I am banished.
And say'st thou yet that exile is not death?
Hadst thou no poison mix'd, no sharp-ground knife,
No sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean,
But 'banished' to kill me?.'banished'?
O friar, the damned use that word in hell;
Howlings attend it: how hast thou the heart,
Being a divine, a ghostly confessor,
A sin-absolver, and my friend profess'd,
To mangle me with that word 'banished'?

"these violent delights have violent ends"...sounds like my last relationship.

I love reading Romeo & Juliet by Shakespere! More people should read the classics!

At this same ancient feast of Capulet's, sups the fair Rosaline whom thou so lovest; With all the admired beauties of Verona: Go thither; and, with unattainted eye, Compare her face with some that I shall show, And I will make thee think thy swan a crow.

Can't live without re-reading it all the time!! My favorite masterpiece by William Shakespeare even though it's the most used in the media.

good night good night parting is such sweet sorrow that i shall say goodnight till it be morrow etc etc

I woke up stupidly early & am reading Shakespeare......strange :/

I have lost myself; I am not here;
This is not Romeo, he's some other where.
