Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet

My all-time favorite Shakespeare play is Romeo and Juliet. Naturally, the ending is truly terrible, but to witness such limitless love is inspirational, warming the heart. Thus never to take true love for granted.

Two excerpts from Scene II

Romeo:
I, speak again, bright angel! For thou art
As glorious to this night, being o’er my head,
As a winged messenger of heaven
Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze in him,
When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds
And sales upon the bosom of the air.

Juliet:
O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore  art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.

Such conflicts happen all the time. Love is purity amongst two people in love. Forget external influences for true love is the purity of the heart and soul.

Should you have a chance, read Shakespeare’s ‘The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet’ A play indeed, but as readable as a love story, beyond any imagination.

The story is addictive; you observe their love and I for one, had a lump in my throat.

Take a deep breath and pick up a volume and read. It will take you on a journey that you will never forget.
