      @jeremytessier5316 3 года назад +44

      Romeo and Juliet is not a parody, but it is also not a sincere love story; it is a tragedy. The next time you need to write about this story for an English or literature class, take this, get an A, and thank Mr. Regular: "The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet isn't that they died; it's that they died too young to know that their love wasn't worth dying for." It is first and foremost a story about children who become obsessed with one another and pursue a relationship without the maturity to know what that means or how to conduct themselves. The over-the-top incidents that occur are representative of the incidents young people up till today go through blindly 'in love'.

      @@erichfiedler1481 Iambic pentameter is the metre in which Shakespeare wrote most of his works. An "iamb" is two syllables where the _second_ one is stressed. Iambic pentameter means each line consists of five iambs. Basically, it goes "di DA di DA di DA di DA di DA". It's rarely followed _precisely_ (either in Shakespeare or in this video), but most lines of Shakespeare fit roughly into that metre.

      The decision to pair late-middle English with a modern setting was definitely...a choice. It doesn't appeal to purists who would want to see a period setting, and the language makes it hard to follow for casual viewers looking for a standard modern adaptation.

    Ever since 9th grade when I was forced to read the play, I’ve had a long running theory that Benvolio masterminded the entirety of the play. He’s just present enough to have an impact, yet he’s quiet enough to fly completely under the radar. Not to mention he’s got a couple of really suspicious moments throughout the play.

      IIRC: Shakespeare writes a bunch of tragedies about the weakness and stupidity of man. The queen says "you're great, but you should write a romance!" Shakespeare writes a tragedy about tweens being so dumb they get everyone around them hurt and then they kill themselves because they are so impulsive. Everyone: "it's the greatest romance of all time!"
