Love? Let's Talk About Love...

Pros The social satire.
Cons Shakespeare's idea of "love".
Recommended it? No

Before reading this review, know that I have seen a lot of and really appreciate the works of William Shakespeare. Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth are among my favorite plays of all time. But, for some reason, I am not very fond of Romeo and Juliet.

Shakespeare takes us to middle-aged... Read full review »

Pros great play
Cons language
Recommended it? Yes

The first time that I read this play had to be when I was in 7th grade. We read in in my english class. I really enjoyed, although I didn't understand some of the language. Once again, My class read Romeo and Juliet in my 9th grade english class. This time, we went a little more in depth about the... Read full review »

Cliffs Notes have Grown up-- It's Shakespeare

26 Helpfuls 27 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 7 Comments
Pros great for all new readers of Shakespeare
Cons experienced readers might say "yek"
Recommended it? Yes

The classic, Romeo and Juliet is meant to be performed and watched, not read. But there are many people, especially my young students, who look at the original text and their lips tremble. Well, the makers of Cliffsnotes have a wonderful solution to help any and all of those in fear. They have... Read full review »

Pros It's a great love story that many people can relate to.
Cons Shakespeare maybe a little hard to translate.
Recommended it? Yes

First of all, I love Shakespeare's work. Some of his work maybe complicated to understand but they are wonderful. Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare's most popular stories because it's not as complicated as his other stories. Romeo and Juliet is my favorite by him because it tells how you don't...

Alas poor Romeo, why are you so popular?

Pros Tybalt and Mercutio: two of Shakespeare's greatest stock characters
Cons Weak tragic "hero" in charmingly foolish Romeo, illogical plot, flat story
Recommended it? No

Over almost five centuries, "Romeo and Juliet" has endured as Shakespeare's most popular and well-known play in his canon. The story of two teenage, star-crossed lovers has resonated with readers and viewers on film and on stage for eons. Yet, I find it quite difficult to place "Romeo and Juliet"... Read full review »

It's like Romeo and Juliet.........!!!!!!!!

bybre-daniels May 9, 2005
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 4 Comments
Pros Demonstrates a type of love;"Romantic Love"
Cons Boring story, movie is better
Recommended it? Yes

I have to admit the movie is a bit more interesting than the story. Romeo and Juliet is young and curious. The reason I say this is because they fell in love too easily and was willing to die and lie to their parents to be with each other.In the beginning Romeo has a crush on Rosaline who seems to...

A Teen Love story but not FOR teens

byplaychina Nov 22, 2002
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Shakespeare, brilliant characterizations
Cons emulation possibilities with a teen readership
Recommended it? Yes

William Shakespeare's best-known work. Romeo and Juliet is the classical tale of star-crossed lovers. Shakespeare could have said after this one, " Okay, folks, this is the classic tragic love story, all the rest of you are just trying to get second place."

The story of the teen lovers is... Read full review »

The Death Of Love

byBambe Jul 18, 2000
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros It was detailed and beautifully written.
Cons The end was not a happy fairytale, which saddened me.
Recommended it? Yes

William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet showed me that love could make anything possible. The story of these two young lovers makes me see how strong true love can be, and how even parents are sometimes to blind to see what is really there. William Shakespeare shows how love and hate are two... Read full review »

Romeo, Romeo, why art thou so STUPID?

bypenguinkay Jul 30, 2010
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Suspenseful plot and interesting diction.
Cons Very stereotypical story with a shallow definition of "love" given.
Recommended it? No

No doubt, this work is intriguing. I have to wonder, however, is that really Shakespeare's idea of what love is? To ilogically throw yourself into some relationship that was started in the matter of a second? Romeo and Juliet are simply the Renaissance version of Barbie and Ken... Read full review »
