it’s not that i don’t like shakespeare, because i love him. his writing is genius and i appreciate mostly all of it. the only reason i couldn’t stand this was because romeo and juliet are some of the most insufferable characters i have ever read about. i absolutely am in awe of their annoyingness. despite this, the point was made very clear and i really did like the story. 

i might reread but probably not ☑️
