Answer 2

Romeo: Romeo is a whiny brat. He is obsessive, kind of a stalker, and a complete hopeless romantic. I personally do not like Romeo. After he breaks up with Rosalin for becoming a nun (OH NO, THAT MEANS NO SEX!) he hooks up with the first girl he finds: Juliet. He then stalks her, showing up and risking his life for some girl he's seen once for about five minutes. He is reckless. He and Juliet get married after knowing each other for not even a full 24 hours!

Juliet: Juliet is strong-willed, headstrong, and reckless. She appears to be "the perfect daughter" up until she meets Romeo, who transforms her from an innocent pre-pubescent girl into a reckless, runaway bride. I think she is overly dramatic and intelligent.

Juliet appears to be obsessed with the moon, stars and night, whereas Romeo is convinced that Juliet is the sun and day. This is very interesting to me, because it shows the conflicts in their beliefs, likes and dislikes. opposites attract, i guess.

I don't think that they are really in love. I think they are in love with the IDEA of being in love. What better way to make your parents angry than to date (and marry) a boy/girl from your family's rival family?

On such a question, opinions are bound to vary. The people who tend to dislike it the most are either those who cannot imagine any Shakespearean play being treated in a manner different from the way it was treated in the nineteenth century, or those who are disinclined to try to get their head around Shakespeare's dialogue.

For people who are more open, many find this to be an extremely rewarding movie. For some, it connects the story to modern sensibilities, so they find it easier to care about the characters. For others, the modern setting explains the Elizabethan dialogue in a way that a traditional one would not, making the story more comprehensible. Many have praised the cinematography and the performances, particularly by the leads (and of course there are others who do not like the performances at all).

In order to know where you stand, there is only one thing to do--watch it yourself and find out.

Answer 4

I have never heard of a novel called Romeo and Juliet. There is a play by that name by William Shakespeare, but like almost all plays, it is intended to be watched and listened to, not read. So what I advise you to do is to locate a way of watching a film version of the play, preferably either Zeffirelli's from 1968 or Luhrmann's from 1996. If you have a chance to watch it live in a theatre, better yet. If, after that experience, you want to know more about the amazing words the characters use, then you can read the script.

Answer 5

well, people say it was a good play. i haven't seen it. It's was written by Shakespeare. You learn about it in middle or high school

Answer 6

I think it depends what kind of Romeo and Juliet copy you get. If you get the one Shakespeare wrote in poetry, it is appropriate but I doubt children will understand it. :)

Answer 7

I would like to recommend Romeo and Juliet because their love was eternal.
