filtered against evil
Between catching up on all the history I have missed as well as trying to research the apocalypse, I found something called "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare" and have read some of the sonnets and plays. I think it fascinating how much he was able to write and the different genres but some of it seems far fetched, even for fiction.

"Never was there a tale of such woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo"

Apparently this is one of his more famous works and is a tragedy as the two title characters died. I just do not see how dying because of a rash decision is tragic? They said it was love but the entire plot takes place in a week. The meeting and marriage I a day...

I have nothing against romance and love stories but this seemed more a story on things not thought out and is then described as a love story for all times.

	I guess with more authors and stories being told, not everything will be worthwhile to read if it is done poorly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'll scar yourself. If Romeo and Juliet hurt your head, Twilight will make it explode. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is rather upsetting. Especially as it seems it is quite popular. Though, just because something is popular does not mean it is good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	In this case, that's the right conclusion. It's poorly written, the plot is a farce, and don't even think of seeing the movie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, so it would be Gaston were he a book? Nothing beneath the surface yet adored by many for what they wish to see instead of what it truly is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Hahahahahahahaha~~ Basically, yes. Loved by those who want the perfect story for themselves with little regards for the care of others. (Reply to this) (Parent)
