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.
