Come on Romeo, man up!
I have to say, Romeo and Juliet is definitely not Shakespeare's best. I appreciate the language and the poetry, for it is extremely difficult to do and the word choice is excellent. Also, the use of literary elements and figurative language is brilliant. However, Romeo is a problem.
Okay, alright, I realize that you're sixteen and a hormonal teenager, but honestly, it took you about seven hours to go from being totally in love with one girl to falling head over heels for another. Emotions are a roller coaster at sixteen, I understand, but have a back bone! A girl doesn't love you back. Move on. Being a little mopey and depressed is fine, but oh my goodness, locking yourself in your room and depriving yourself of sunlight? Whining and secluding yourself from all human interaction? For DAYS?!
Then, you meet Juliet, who brings the sun back into your life and has such beautiful cheeks that you wish you were a glove just so that you could touch them (wait, what?). You proceed with the most cheesiest poetry I have ever heard. Okay, it's sweet how you love a girl you just met an hour ago so much, but tone it down a bit? There's a difference between romantic and...scary.
Here's the thing, Romeo and Juliet is not a comedy. If it were a comedy, then I would have no problem with Romeo. However, it is a tragedy. I know the point is to display immature, young love, but Romeo is just too much. Romeo and Juliet is considered by many to be the ultimate tale of love. However, I am at loss as to why. Yes, it shows two lovers that are willing to do anything for each other, but just a few hours before meeting Juliet, Romeo was ready to do anything for Rosaline. Is love supposed to be so fickle? I sure hope not.
Dear Jack,
I am extremely sorry for not posting in so long. I promise after this week it will be better! MUN Banquet tomorrow! I'm super excited! I got to meet my co-chair today for the first time! I'll tell you how it went later. Oh, and how many days of school do you have left?
That's all for tonight everyone!
Goodnight!
