Romeo and Juliet




JULIET: But if they see you, they’ll murder you.
ROMEO: There’s more danger
in your eyes for me than from twenty of their swords!
JULIET: But I don’t
want them to find you here!
ROMEO: The dark night will hide me from their
eyes. And if I have your love, they can kill me. I prefer to die than to live
without your love.



The reason why I read Romeo and Juliet is this story is important to read (the?) twilight saga. There are many quotations of Romeo and Juliet in twilight saga. Then I wanted to know and read it deeply. Edward and Bella are really similar to Romeo and Juliet except their death.
At first, I thought Romeo was very coward and effeminate. However, he was a skilled swordsman. It was cool but his power became one of causes of tragedy. His love for her was passionate and her love for him too.
It was sad to me that the Capulets and the Montagues settled their differences after Romeo and Juliet died. Even if they did earlier, Romeo and Juliet could continue to live and love each other.
I didn’t know that it was not written as literature for reading but playing. Then, I want to watch the movie both Leonard Whiting and Leonardo DiCaprio played. (218 words)

It was written by William Shakespeare and published by Penguin Books.
YL is 3.4 and 14900 words.
