The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet (Updated) | William Shakespeare

Two weeks ago, I saw the new Broadway production of Romeo and Juliet, so of course I had to revisit the source material beforehand! Like a million others, R&J was my introduction to Shakespeare. I don't love this play but I'm grateful for the teacher who made my 6th grade class read it. It made me a stronger, more confident reader in general and got me curious enough to seek out more of Shakespeare's work, enriching my whole life as a result. ❤️

Romeo and Juliet (Updated) | William Shakespeare

A glooming peace this morning with it brings.
The sun for sorrow will not show his head.
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon‘d and some punished;
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.

Exeunt omnes.

Romeo and Juliet: Tragedies by William Shakespeare | Shakespeare

#AboutABook #StunningCover @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Slowly supplementing the Oxford complete works from my college Shakespeare course with copies of the individual plays as I reread them, cause the complete works weighs like a bazillion pounds and is just not that much fun to read from… and I 💯 bought this one for the cover art and have zero regrets. I may get more of them in these Wordsworth Classics.

The_Book_Ninja I‘m mad envious of anyone who reads Shakespeare for fun. I‘ve seen two plays with my daughters (King Lear with Ian McKellen and Macbeth with James McAvoy — accidental Marvel Universe continuity) and been frustrated trying to keep up with the language. 4mo

IndoorDame @The_Book_Ninja I‘m pretty jealous of seeing Lear with Ian Mckellen! There are some really fantastic full cast audio recordings available that can sometimes be a fun way into the language since you get to hear it performed by the actors, but you can read along, or slow it down/rewind it when a scene frustrates you 4mo

The_Book_Ninja @IndoorDame My daughter recommends Baz Luhrmann‘s Romeo and Juliet with its modern visuals helping to clarify the dialogue. That‘s my next mission 4mo

IndoorDame @The_Book_Ninja love that version! Excellent plan! 4mo

I finished reading the easy version of Romeo & Juliet with my 8th grade students. Even though the text was changed a lot they did not catch some parts of the the story. And I did not like the easy version because some of the best known quotes of this play have been changed. I prefer the original.
