Romeo and Juliet

I am up to act 3 scene 1 in Romeo and Juliet, and i must admit its actually really good. i thought that it was just going to be some old sappy romance but, it actually has a lot of meaning to it and a lot of action and drama. there is a lot of meaning and passion in it and i'm actually glad that we are reading this.


what has happened so far is that Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet and their family's are enemies. the Capulet's throw a party and Benvolio and Romeo go, but the reason Romeo goes is so that he can see Rosaline the girl that he "loves" and that broke his heart. that is were him and Juliet meet and they immediately fall in love, but then they find out each others last names. but that doesn't stop them from being together. when the party is over Romeo sneaks to Juliet's balcony, which is known as the famous balcony scene. the following day Romeo sends Juliet a request to marry him, and she accepts and they get married. 


that's all i have read so far. even though we know from the prologue that Romeo and Juliet are going to end up dead, we still read it and it is really good. and i think we kind of forget that they are going to end up dying, and get caught up in their romance. i think that the most interesting person out f all the characters is Juliet. she started off as an innocent  and obedient daughter of a rich family. she was basically a parents dream daughter. and she made the biggest turn around and change ever. people are always saying to be yourself and not change for anyone, and in a way i feel like she did change to be with Romeo. she changed how she acted and her attitude towards her family.


i'm excited to see what happens next!
