I am an English teacher: please be careful if you are studying Romeo and Juliet. This is only the woman's opinions on the play and are occasionally inaccurate. Make sure you look at the play closely yourself and form your own opinion from that.

@italiansdoitbetter18 I know you wrote about your detest of Romeo and Juliet last year, but the reason why teachers are making us study Shakespeare and other great writers is to understand and observe how the English language is used by experts. I know it sucks, but I think teachers are hoping that students, above all else, obtain an appreciation of what the English language was once, and what it is now.

Thanks! This let me get the general idea of things :)

Also Tybalt deliberately organises to meet up with Romeo so it isn't really ironic or a coincidence... and the reason Tybalt gets stabbed is because of Mercutio, and he didn't flee he was banished... awkward

it they had met a week later, Juliet would not be married to Paris because the reason the marriage was brought forward is because it was Lord Capulet's way of trying to cheer Juliet up after Tybalt's death as he thought this was the only thing bothering her. Originally Capulet told Paris to wait a couple of years before marrying Juliet as he thought she was too young so that point isn't really valid

@italiansdoitbetter18 Hahaha, I don't know if you have grown as a person between last year and now. But you are a serious idiot, being good in terms of literature can get you really far in life. If you can't take stuff like this seriously later on you are going to end up an idiot or some douche bag, And I am in grade nine, and this stuff is amazing. Plus I think you enjoy the taste of fresh semen in your mouth, just some sort of wild guess though.
