In Act 1 Romeo really annoys me. He treats love almost like it means nothing to him, which makes it hard to understand how he really feels. Does Romeo really love Juliet? Did he ever love Rosaline, or is he just doing all of this for attention? Romeo really has none of my trust from the beginning, and he just gets really annoying with his love tales and sorrows that sound really fake. Just get over yourself Romeo!
I don't like reading the language because I wish that I could understand it better. It's frustrating to read because I can't understand most it. I really like being able to know the meaning of every word and sentence, but that's sort of impossible. However, I feel like I have a better understanding of the overall story this time around. It must have taken a really long time for Shakespear to come up with all of the sonnets and poems in which the play is written. Shakespear's use of wordplay makes the story much more interesting. A lot of the puns don't make any sense at all to me, but the humor is very evident in some. I can't wait to read more and get more into the story.
