As of now, I don't know what is happening in Romeo and Juliet because it just ended up with Mercutio and Tybalt dead and Romeo banished. This is starting to confuse me, and is making me wonder if this story will end up with only a few people dead or if people will slowly start to die and Verona ends up in chaos. I'm starting to get interested in this story for once, because the beginning was almost nonsense, confusing, and really boring to me. I guess Act III is when the play becomes what is expected.

 

What basically happened in the rest of Act II was Mercutio and Tybalt have a fight and Tybalt ends up killing Mercutio by stabbing him in the lung or heart. Then Romeo gets rrevenge and kills Tybalt, making the Capulets go into chaos about their nephew's death and Romeo. So he ends up being banished from Verona, and to never come back to the city ever again. So I am guessing that Romeo and Juliet will elope and flee to the forests to get married, and will probably end up dying there. I am predicting that Acts IV and V will be in the forest or somewhere outside of Verona and the very end will be a funeral in the heart of Verona.

These are just some of my predictions of what will happen, what are yours?

I am going to take a break from House of Hades this week and talk about Romeo and Juliet. This story was widely read and very popular out of all of the plays that were written in the 1600s. So it should be a great play in comparison to the rest. The first parts were a little confusing because it just starts with the Capulets and the Montagues fighting and you never know why this happens. It then goes onto the children of the Capulets and the Montagues. So it just transfers on from one character to another, and Romeo and Juliet had a very unrealistic love because they barely knew each others and that will not make a typical person fall in love with someone else. It has to take a lot of time before you know if they will fall in love with you or not, and that never happened in this story.

But the content was actually good, which was probably why this story was so popular back then and even today. The story was okay to me, but the romance didn't make sense because they fell instantly after they saw each others. Also, out of all the characters other than these two, only the children were effective in this book, and the nurse. The parents (Lords an Ladies of the houses) had almost little or no effect on the story because they only fought and they haven;t intervened in Romeo's and Juliet's relationship so far. Overall, I would give this story a 3/5.
