Not necessarily pointless. Perhaps you have taken a dislike to Shakespeare's literature. It's okay to find it boring, but if it's an assignment try to focus. There is some meaning behind all these dialogues. If you have time study them and look deeper into the events taking place within the play itself. Shakespeare is a complicated, yet terrific writer.

No, Romeo and Juliet is a play by William Shakespeare. I would suppose since he lived 1554 to 1616 that the play was set in the 16th Century? England? It's been a long time since 9th Grade English.\n\nI will give you a link that may help you out, first of all you can try an idependent search on "Romeo and Juliet" and the playwrite William Shakespeare.\n\nOne oddity that I might point out in the original production it is likely (not certain about this particular play) that all of the performers were male. There is a movie called "Shakespeare In Love" that is interesting, and while much of it may or may not be fictionalized it is true that in English Theater women were not considered for parts. Only males. I don't think women were even considered for acting roles for many years in English theater.\n\nHave fun, Mr. Shakespeare wrote some wonderful plays, and poetry. Two of my favorites are "A Mid-Summer Night's Dream", and "A Tale of Two Cities".\n\nThe link below will give you some general information on Romeo and Juliet. There are many many web sites and pages about it. If you like Romeo and Juliet, maybe you would enjoy reading some of his other writings.\nruthie~

i suggest not doing romeo or juliet b/c everyones going to do them and your teachers going to read a million of them and if she gets to yours and its different- thats a good thing. i suggest friar lawerence. he was crutial to their secret marriage, juliets fake suicide, he was the only one who knew that juliet wasnt really dead, he was the first to find thr dead romeo, told juliet what had happened, etc. without him the none of that twisted romantic tragedy could have happened.\n\noh- and a good thesis sentence could be: The most influential character in The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, without whom the plot would be undone, is Friar Lawerence. \nbtw:The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is the official title.

Movies with that theme derive the story from Romeo and Juliet. Remember Shakespeare wrote the play first.

Well, the movie and the play were similar with the same big songs in it. \nIf you didn't like the movie i don't think you'll like the play.

I think the way that society has portrayed it is completely stupid. Romeo and Juliet were young kids but everyone seems to think that they were grown.

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.  Arise fair sun and kill the envious moon which is already sick and pale with grief.\nI just like it, I wish guys today could be more romantic...not in old english, of course, but something nice and poetic, not crude or some sexual inuendo.  Oh well.

When we meet Romeo he is sad because the woman he loves (Rosaline) does not love him back. Although a Montague and is suppose to hate the Capulets, Romeo does not hate anyone. He is seen in the early scenes to be blissfully pinning away about Rosaline to even concern himself with the matters such as the events between the Montagues and Capulets that was engaged in Scene 1.\n\nWhen we meet Juilet she is baded by her mother and nurse and told whether she would like to marry Paris. Juilet is no more than a child and does not understand the difference between love(simply married to someone) and love(in terms of passion in which she experiences later on with Romeo). She is obedient in her parent's wishes, without much thought. Compared to Romeo's lust of love...Juilet's naitivity is strangly juxtaposed when she meets Romeo and it is Juilet who expresses the desire to marry the following day. \n\nHope this helps

Tybalt's death turns the play to a tragedy.\n\nThings are going great for Romeo. He's just married Juliet, the love of his life. Everything is perfect until about an hour or so after his wedding to Juliet, when he kills Tybalt.\n\nPer the Prince's decree in Act I, Scene i, anyone caught engaging in a civil brawl will be put to death. Romeo should be killed. Instead, Prince Escalus exiles him. Here's where everything starts going wrong.\n\nJuliet gets sad and wants to kill herself. Her daddy wants her to marry Count Paris. Everything sucks. So she goes to see Friar Lawrence, who gives her the potion which will make her appear dead.\n\nUnfortunately, Romeo does not receive the Friar's message that Juliet is just faking her death. He thinks she has really died. He goes to her tomb and quaffs the poison. When Juliet wakes up, she finds Romeo dead. Despite Friar Lawrence's protest, she refuses to leave and stabs herself with the dagger.\n\nThe play is a tragedy because it has an unhappy ending and because the heroes (Romeo and Juliet) are brought down by their fatal flaws (their immaturity and impatience).

I can only think of Juliet in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet"!  Are you thinking fictional ones or real ones?  There are some in ancient myths...

shakespearean allusion is common in the text (look at the title: “Oh brave new world that has such people in it...” from The Tempest), also utopian irony ... try that for starters

I'm thinking you mean Much Ado About Nothing by Shakespeare?  I've never heard of Too Much Too Say About Nothing.

Well, as the prologue states "It's the story of two star-cross'd lovers" No doubt, it's a tragic. It's romantic. But, I would say that the actual theme is that families need to be more open to their children's wants and needs. See, Romeo and Juliet honestly loved each other. Their parents had been so relentless in their feud, that both Romeo and Juliet felt they had to hide their marriage. It's a story of misscommunications. If all had come out in the beginning, much tragedy could have been prevented. Juliet and Romeo may not have been supported, but hopefully, they would have lived. Btw, when R & J had sex, they were already married.
