Video SparkNotes: Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet summary 

Or Romeo not going to the party

Dan K well duh. 🤦‍♂️

Or better solutions. Because sure, faking your death and relying on a bad mail delivery to your suicidal boyfriend to know whats going on is an exellent idea.

*parcel force*

Then there may be no great love stories, as these stories usually stop at the climax of their relationship. “There are two tragedies in life.One is not to get your heart's desire.The other is to get it.”

ahhh, i want to use it in my essay XD

Elsa(in edna voice): NO MARRIGE>:(

True

Romeo and Juliet: Try us, betch!

Well it is a satirical play afterall

underrated

It's tragedy drama no happy ending

God loves you and so do I. Give your life to Jesus Christ and repent of all your sins, even the ones you've committed in the past.

@Back-Up MatthewPlayzYT he wrote that 3 years ago

Mabel McNamara yeah but in fairness, she didn't love him back (reading the book)

Mabel McNamara not only that Rosaline was giving herself to God/becoming a nun pretty much she wasn't interested in love or a man.

Along with everything else, he was a lustful teen

The fuck that’s not how we work if your not interested then we’re not gonna stay for long lol

true enough

This story took place back when being married at 13 was acceptable because of shortened life spans.

LITERALLY ME BRO

@@canaisyoung3601 ah I see thank you, you learn something new everyday :))

​@Canais Young No, that's wrong cause if that was the case, juliet's father would've been married juliet off.

This was when you can be married off meaning when you turn 18 no questions asked thays the man you're marrying seeing this is the political and other advantageous positions combining two different families and having that connection that signify you have control or influence in the game to set you and your family up. But to make a long story short that's the tragedy that you're going to love this person and go through all this that's true love loyalty and sacrifice working things out with one another and they didn't know each other but clearly it was truly love at first sight a man that was trying to get over his ex and a girl that didn't want to marry what her father told her to marry they both found each other there and both happen to be of rival families going through all this turmoil to be with one another and they both died st the end. The greatest things that give us strength is the worse things that will weaken and kill us in all ways that's why romeos bodies cursed both families juliets family for trying to kill me Romeo people cause that's my boy Romeo and I lost my life trying to defend my brother my boy who I love again no man have greater love than this that he may lay his life down for his friends and ironically even though they weren't married they both died cause they couldn't think ot believe to be sithout the other very eerily similar to paradise lost with adam and eve in that story. A man lay down his life for his woman and she do the same for him but yet at what price does love kill you and death dint just mean you physically die again in all ways the slow erosion degradation and overall changung of you into a person b/c of that emotion that strong emotion you putting that energy that will that spirit into that emotion and unto that thing can be like a fire either warmth or burning.

There was no internet, devices etc back in the day

@@tomtrains195 oh

Ugh dzuh, they didn't have internet connection back then, they should've just used a hologram for a much easier access. Smh.

*Face palms*

I don't think the play ever specifically gives Romeo's age. Also though you got the jest of the play you did mix up the order of events. Romeo kills Tybalt after he has just married Juliet. It is ridiculous if you look at the play from the lovers perspective, but I always thought the sentiment of the play had more to do with the fact that the families hate for each other cost them their only children. More of a moralistic tale on how such prejudice and hate would only lead to despair.

Short version: teens are crazy. Also, pay attention to the friar's speech and "love moderately."

Auke Dijk yep

i hate this too...

It's kinda sad though, really, so young, to have just died

Carson Bishop Well, at least we got each other Just Bonnie and....

Jeffrey Yungen their making reference to ERB

@Parker Schafer (Gunshot)

Broo 😆

Matthew Thomason That version came out when I was studying Shakespeare at school.... I must say kids nowadays have it easy with t'internet.

Love that gas station scene Shakespeare puts at the start am I right?

Matthew Thomason to late my exam is in 7 hours and I gotta sleep

lmao if you're a kid just watch gnomeo and juliet

ummmm its not easier to understand its still in shakesperean Also, its really poop

There are many instances where it is quoted or referred to in conversations, movies, or maybe with your boss one day, so it might help to know to which they are referring. Some things are merely studied to enrich ones life. To be able to read and understand Shakespeare is part of being an educated person.

Thanks

In 15-20 years time it would be interesting to hear you answer your own question. I didn't mind studying Shakespeare when I was younger, I enjoyed it, not sure whether to put it down to good teaching (Mrs Morton Spalding High School) or being able to relate to the characters and themes - hot headed servants scrapping at every opportunity; juliet so young yet so stressed by what was going on in her world that she commits suicide; Friar Laurence thinking he has all the answers but his plans getting f*cked up big time, even gang rivalry (couldn't personally relate to that one, but you see it on the streets even in my rural area where neighbouring villagers hate each other). Now (I'm 34)I can see the themes, issues, in Shakespeare are timeless, it's like 300 year sociology!

Learning Shakespeare = make friends feel dumb

When you meet some hot person at the party, fall in love with them at first sight and then go behind everyone's back to meet with them

me too u.u

Isaac Rufino Good luck, my test went quite well :)

suppyproductions exam tomorrow :D

Eish it's a waste of time to be honest. I could be studying more important work instead of reading this book

Mercutio is my man

@@tomschnitger305 that is rude

@SALTY BANANA chill dude. Sometimes people just don’t like a story

@SALTY BANANA Love? They knew each other for a day and interacted for even less. Romeo is just a lustful teen who is almost a man that has Juliet as his rebound because another female rejected him and all men. Not including that Romeo may be in his 20s and not even a teen, so you saying that they are both children could be wrong.

I came here to here the story

@@mars2337 same.

Nope I'm refreshing my memory for an audition for Romeo and Juliet 😂

Nope

Wouldn't have worked, that drug made the pulse so low, no one could've detected it. Honestly, all of this could've been avoided if the friar had used more wisdom and told Romeo not to marry someone he met they day before, even if peace between the families was the goal. They would've been better off eloping and both families would've still had to face the damage their petty feud had done. Overall, it's still an interesting story.

I’m just interested in this.

Annie and Elsie of Arendelle​ *GASP* I'm so offended :( I like Shakespeare and his plays, but I did not like this one. A Midnight Summer's Dream was good. Hamlet was good. This one was horrific.

actually this isnt meant to be a love story, because just look how many people die, Shakespeare wouldn't just write that and play it off like death doesn't matter

apparently you're not the only one then :))

Julia Firekitty me too

shakespearese, a dialect of English.

Well Shakespeare had an great influence on the british language. The story is easy to understand. Two starcrossed lovers who find their peace in eternal death, but that is not the point really. Shakespeare's language was so modern and important for poetry. Before Shakespeare the British language was pretty simple and more of a "peasant tongue." By combining old latin words with the common British tongue he more or less created a new language. Words like education (from the Latin word "educare") or to ascend (from the Latin word "ascendere") are just a few examples. Theatre was like a new magazine or tv-show in the Elizabethan age. In addition to the language, he changed the role of the woman. Before Shakespeare women were not allowed to be an actor on stage. Because of Shakespeare's plays where men were turning into women, who were turning into men throughout the whole play the status of women was influenced greatly. These are just some examples of a student who is taking a test tomorrow, but if you are not aware of the reason why Shakespeare is taught. Study him. He's interesting and much more important: His work is interesting.

well no offense but im more of a memorizer, which is why i like science and history, but not Shakespeare history, i come from spain :) oh and im also a gamer so....... yeah i have many weaknesses in school almost fell asleep when reading the book finally i said F this where is sparknotes xD

You are right about Shakespeare. He may not be the worst writer but he definitely came nowhere near as a good writer. Most of his works are lazy or are copied from other people’s works. Compared to other English writer such as George Bernard, his works look like pieces of trash. It cringes me out how many people simply claim Shakespeares’ works to be masterpiece just because critics say so or because they have an great influence on British language.

@@jimmyli319 i also love it how people mistake the scottish as proper english, and theyre accents. The sad truth is that the scottish lost their own language called Gaelic, most people mistake the scottish and irish english speaking as the "true english" because they pronounce everything so differently, theres a lot of false information surrounding our education these days
