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.
