It wasn't true love as much as it was infatuation. (  )1   fufuakaspeechless | Jan 5, 2010 |  This book is a tragedy of Shakespeare. In Verona, capulets and Montagues are opposed to each other, but Romeo who is Montague's son fell in love with Juliet who is Capulet's daughter. They married secretly, however one day Romeo was banished from Verona for murder. Juliet took medicine whih made her apparent death to ran off with him, but he didn't notice her "apparent" death and suicide himself, and she saw it then she also suicide herself. I think they're so pity! But I was surprised all events in this story happened in a week!!! ( )1 minamia | Dec 15, 2009 | I much preferred the Luhrman movie, I have to say, than having to read it at school. The movie was great though and barely a word had to be changed. ( )1 Martin44 | Dec 10, 2009 | This is the most famous sad love story and one of Shakespeare's four tragedies. There are many great expression all over this book. Romeo and Juliet are devoted to each other. But thier surrounding people don't permit that they marry. They try to solve this problem…… It is little difficult to read because the sentence is like script. ( )1 orangee | Nov 22, 2009 | Romeo and Juliet fell in love each other at first sight. But ther families are enemies. So they can't marry usually. But ther love is very big... I knew about the story unclealy, so I can imagine the next sean or the end of the story. But there were many things I didn't know. For example, therencounter. That is very interesting. (  )1 toniy | Nov 10, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
