Romeo and Juliet

William Shakespeare, a man who has written many plays that at some point everyone had to read, and most commonly read Romeo and Juliet. I have always enjoyed this play and would say it is my favorite out of all of the works by Shakespeare. I like the theme of forbidden love and the obstacles Romeo and Juliet take just to be together. To me this play is proof that love really does has no limits and if you truly are in love then nothing can stop you. Even though this play does not end well, which is heartbreaking, but the story line leading up to that scene gives readers the feelings of all emotions. This play truly does have everything that anyone would want to read about, whether that be love, fighting, or death there is nothing that is not covered. Although this play may not be able to relate to many people, everyone can relate to the struggles of what comes with falling in love. I feel though that this plot could relate to people more than they think because of the age of Romeo and Juliet. Both of them are young teenagers who are experiencing their first love and all of the issues that are being presented with that I feel like people experience more than they think. Everyone who remembers their first love could probably say that looking back it was more difficult than it had to be because first loves are always very immature. People are so fascinated with the thought of love that they do not actually realize what love is. Hopefully, the difficulties Romeo and Juliet were facing with their families is not something most people have to deal with because that always seems to end in a tragedy. This play I can read over and over again as it tells such a beautiful story of two people wanting to be together so badly that they will risk anything. Today, people do not know what true love is anymore and how to express their love. I am not saying love should be this difficult and people need to die for each other but the thought of doing anything for the one you love is such a romantic good feeling.
