Why is Romeo and Juliet still popular today?

Answer 1

Romeo and Juliet is still popular today because it deals with themes as relevant now as in Shakespeare's time. Love, jealousy, revenge... all of it still goes on today. The hopeless love of Romeo and Juliet happens to everyone, whether its "My family is in a fued with his, so they won't let us be together" or "That cute guy doesn't know I exist." Everyone feels this way, and even though the characters talk differently, they are saying the same things we say.

Answer 2

Shakespearian literature is still popular because it is very, very good. The man was a genius and his plays will continue to be performed for as long as mankind exists, they are great stories and although difficult to understand at first, once you do try and understand them they are beautiful to listen to.

Answer 3

The most famous parts of what Shakespeare wrote were not intended to be read at all--they are plays and are intended to be performed. The plays are often read for just that purpose--to prepare them for performance. Sometimes people read them to prepare themselves to watch a performance, and sometimes read them and imagine a performance. In any case, as plays, they are among the best plays ever written, full of deep and complex characters, action, passion, noble and sometimes ignoble deaths, exchanges of wit and crude jokes. The lines are often delicious poetry which it is a delight to speak aloud. (They are also easy to remember, for which actors give thanks)

Shakespeare also wrote poetry which was not intended to be read aloud (although the sonnets can be read aloud with great effect), but like all good poetry, retains its value because it deals with issues that do not go out of fashion: life, death, love, time and aging among others.
