Romeo and Juliet-rewiew★★★★★

Hello everyone.

That is the first work that really deserves five stars out of five, the famous play by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet.

Made famous as a profoundly tragic love story, the book was composed between 1594 and 1596, and has become the archetype of the perfect love, but opponents of the company.

It is a tragedy; this literature focuses on the story of the protagonist questions about good and evil, about life, about God or other deities, staging the problems of man in society and its relations with others. Originally it was the Greek theater scene in honor of the god Dionysus, but have since evolved, in the seventeenth century and the classical era.

William Shakespeare, author that survives in the time, was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 and died sixty-two years later and in the same city in 1616. Of his hand were received 154 sonnets, 37 plays and a series of other poems. He was able to combine a poetic refined and profound philosophy, and although it was popular during his lifetime, became extremely popular after his death, and his works, his works were celebrated and enhanced by important personalities of the following centuries. It is still considered the most representative poet of English literature.

Plot First Act:

A fight between the Montecchi and the Capuleti in the streets of Verona is interrupted by the prince, who makes disperse the crowd. This is then presented a noble earl, Paride, asked the hand of Juliet, which he was granted because the girl, yet fourteen, is considered too young, but is still pushing to think about the proposal received.

Romeo, is instead in love with Rosaline, a girl "ghost" what is not described; he went, with his cousin and a friend, the party of the Capuleti, enemies of his own family to see this girl. But the party meets Juliet and a few words that to ignite the love between them and encourage them to exchange a kiss.

Plot Second Act:

The next day, in secret, Friar Lawrence celebrates the ceremony.

Plot Third Act:

It comes the prince, that banishment the young; shortly after Juliet learns of the affair, and, desperate, she asks the nurse to bring the beloved a ring and request to meet her for a final farewell. They manage to spend a whole night of love and then, the song of the lark, they separate.

The story brings the two families, the Montecchi and the Capuleti, to establish peace and live in harmony.

"O Romeo, Romeo,

wherefore are thou, Romeo? "

"The danger is more in your eyes than in twenty their swords:

if you look at me with kindness, I will be strong against their hatred. "

"Who has not had an injury,

laughs of who bears the signs. "

"Eyes, look your last,

arms tighten it last hug,

and lips, you doors of breath,

sealed a pact with timeless death

that takes away everything. "

I was shocked by this book took so lightly.

For lightly I do not mean that it's ignored but, on the contrary, is enhanced by all, even by those who have never read but anyway, to "goose", as they say in my house, go around saying that It is a work, etc, etc ...

Before read it, I left with thinking "Okay, this work is important, but the end is just a love affair gone bad.". Eventually, though, I'm the one fascinated by the book, while many who flattered him before reading it (in my opinion ruining final impression) are the ones who have enjoyed less.

It's so touching to read of such a great love but, for twist of fate, only lasted three days. Shakespeare was a master in the art of writing, and although it is a difficult read and follow carefully, I have "eaten" the two hundred pages or what they were in 0.2 seconds.

It's a story that lasts, that never gets old and that, absolutely, never dies.

Deeply moved,
