Romeo and Juliet: Update

     So far in Romeo and Juliet, going of my last blog titled Romeo and Juliet, we finally got to read about the first meeting of R and J. It's slightly strange though because Shakespeare makes it seem that it's love at first sight, or as I was corrected, lust at first sight. Basically what happens is... they meet, then they dance, and when they get separated they are constantly searching for each other. Finally, after they search and search they find each other and have a strange conversation involving touching each other palms and Romeo stating that their palms are like how their lips should be. Finally they have a strange kissing scene and then the maid/nurse ruins it by telling Juliet that he's a Montague and he then discovers that Juliet is a Capulet. Now the question is... are R and J going to become star-crossed-lovers or if they will "fall out of love".
     As a class we also watched the comparisons from an older version and newer version of the movie. I personally enjoy the newer version of the movie because I feel like it is easier to follow and is much more humorous. Also, Leonardo DiCaprio plays Romeo which obviously means it's going to be better! Just kidding...but anyway, the newer version of Romeo and Juliet, in my opinion, has more details and allows you to understand the characters much better. It's also uses the same vocabulary as the older one, but is set in modern day times which is slightly strange but is added in such a way that it is funny and good at the same time.
