I don't know what the below post is talking about, but I just had a thought. Juliet (in Romeo and Juliet) is one dumb broad. I mean, she's 14, okay? But she' still really dumb.
She's got this great, rich guy Paris who's crazy for her, and wants to marry her... and then she meets this yo-yo Romeo one time, falls in love with him based on one meeting, and then marries him.
Okay? And then she dies over it. She could have had it all, and she gets herself killed over some randy teenage yoyo from her parent's enemy's family. What an idiot. And Romeo - he just aggravates the situation by killing his girlfriend's cousin, Tybalt, in what ironically appears to be the only time in the entire play that he seems to have some balls.
Juliet's a dumb broad, and Romeo's a fuckin' patsy.
I don't see why we had to read and analyse this repeatedly throughout school.
Pisses me off.

Yeah, no kidding. And why do people hold up Romeo and Juliet as an icon of romance? They fucking killed themselves.

Well, no, I'm not advocating that, but she's still dumb. SHe had better options than this Romeo knuckle-head.

we had to read it because it was written by Shakespeare, who wrote like that because of the times, it was a long time ago and people enjoyed that kind of thing, yes I do agree with you though.

Actually, juliet kills herself after she sees Romeo dead, because he has drunk the poison, thinking that juliet was dead, when she was really just asleep

I know that. I actually like Shakespeare. I just don't like Romeo and Juliet, and don't see it's cultural relevance or significance.
