Wherefore Art Thou Romeo?
My english class just started reading Romeo and Juliet; the classic play about two star-crossed lovers. It sounds romantic and all but really, the guys in the play (well so far, I only just finished Act 1, Scene 1) are very perverted.
On the very first page, they're already talking dirty!
"Me they shall feel while I am able to stand; and
'tis known am I a pretty piece of flesh."
Okay, now that's only a side character. But even Romeo's indecent!
"Nor ope her lap to saint-seducing gold."
Romeo! How demeaning! But I just can't help but laugh! By this point in time, virtually all of the girls in my class despise Romeo but I really don't. Romeo is a teenage (probably) boy, he's in love and he has certain, *cough cough* urges that he has to take care of. The only thing that I hate is that Romeo wasn't talking about Juliet!!! Technically I'm not far enough into the play to know that but on the side it says he's currently in love with Rosalind and when I read that, I waned to scream! But anyway, its just a play and a really hilarious one at that. I just figured I'd update since I haven't in a while.
P.S. I'm really loving Romeo and Juliet!
