Blog Challenge #8: “For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo."

Yes, we are talking about Shakespeare again. More specifically, Romeo and Juliet. Written by William Shakespeare, this is a tragic story of two lovers that are destined to forever be apart. In my opinion, the story is kind of stupid. I mean, first of all, they fall in love in only one evening. Their stupidity shows up again later in the story when Juliet drinks something that makes her appear as dead without telling Romeo. Then Romeo, depressed because his lady love is "dead," turns right around and drinks a poison that kills him. Juliet awakens from her death like sleep and finds Romeo dead, which he wouldn't have been if she hadn't been stupid enough not to have told him what she was doing. Juliet, stricken with despair and grief, stabs herself because the man that she fell in love 3 days before, is dead. Talk about being committed to someone! Seriously, I don't even know what Shakespeare was thinking.
Anyway, that is beside the point. Even though the story line, in my opinion, is terrible, there are many quotes in "Romeo and Juliet" that I like. Some are even beautiful and inspirational. Others, I just like the sound of. Here are a few quotes from the book that I like:

1. "Do not swear by the moon, for she changes constantly. Then your love would also change."
2. "See how she leans her cheek upon her hand. O, that I were a glove upon that hand that I might touch that cheek."
3. "Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow."
4. "These violent delights have violent ends."
5. "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
6. "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?"
7. "But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

Here are a few humorous quotes about "Romeo and Juliet."

 

All of these are true in my opinion. Love y'all!!!
