What I am enjoying
I am really enjoying the different character played in Romeo and Juliet. Some of them are really comical and others are serious. So far I think this book is a comedy. This is because in the first scene the peasants were fighting and they were feeling really insulted when the Capulet their thumb. Also I think it is funny because of Mercutio. Half of his lines made no sense and came out of the blue. I liked how Benvolio was being the peace keeper between the Montagues and the Capulets. He is the honest character int he book. I really like his message to Romeo through out what i have read so far because he is practically telling romeo to move on. I think it is sad how the nurse knows more about Juliet than her mother.I like the imagery and the figurative language included in the play.
What I don't like
I don't like how the play is stretched so much. To carry out one message there is a whole paragraph. An example is the part when Mercutio was talking about dreams. I also don't like how the lines are so hard to comprehend for me. A lot of the messages are indirect.
I agree that Shakespheare elaborates the message too much and it is both serious and comical.
ReplyDeleteI also dont like how they stretch out the message. It makes it harder to understand the whole message since it is longer than needed to be and has unfamiliar words from their time.
ReplyDeleteI understand what you mean when you say the play is comical. The insults were too elaborated and long.
ReplyDeleteI understand with where your coming from about about what you dont like. I do have to disagree with you though about Romeo and Juliet being a comedy.
