How someone can go and get two degrees in English and not read Romeo and Juliet, I have absolutely no idea. Why I would take it upon myself to read Shakespeare when I’m under no obligation, I’m afraid only fellow writers and lit geeks will understand. It’s among the best-known stories in history, even for people who’ve never come within a mile of the Bard’s plays. Two lovers are kept apart by their feuding families. They must thus pursue their love in secret. But it’s not called The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet because they live happily ever after. The play features some of Shakespeare’s most famous and most eloquent passages; read parts aloud if you can get away with it. It’s also highly compressed, so there’s never any point where you hope for things to just move on. And even if the language is at times hard to follow, you can’t ever get too lost with what’s happening. The lovers’ plight, while sympathetic and heartfelt, is diminished by its lack of dramatization. Their courtship happens in such short order, and a goodly portion off-stage, that it prevents readers from identifying more. Yes, the ultimate tragedy is heightened because of the brevity, but I just feel like it’s a missed opportunity. (A moot point, I suppose, when the author is four centuries deceased.) In the event someone else hasn’t read it yet, do. Every love story owes its existence to Romeo & Juliet. Just don’t expect it to be a definitive rendition on the theme. A lot has happened since the days of Shakespeare. Grade: B-
