i absolutely agree. I feel like we need to have more people who don’t blindly accept stuff in the classics as “fact” when they don’t have any context.
Honestly in life in general, if more people were to make it a habit to fact-check information at least twice, we would be more stable as a society.

i just realized how long that was sorry

THANK YOU!! someone finally put it into words XD this kind of “love” not only tends to be mistaken as an example of what “true love” should look like, it’s becoming the social understanding that this is what a good relationship should look like, and like you were saying, is now even becoming promoted. I definitely agree that it may have been originally intended as some of the major humour of the play, and thus is tragic that modern teachers are just seeing “oh, it’s a classic, so we should study and promote all the things in it!”
People.
Most of Shakespeare’s plays were comedies, and were considered outrageous and scandalous when they came out.

I absolutely encourage everyone to do research behind cultures and just overall information behind any historical books even, nay ESPECIALLY, classics, to understand better what the authors were truly trying to say.

OMG, SHAKESPEARE!!!!! IS THAT REALLY YOU!!!??!?!?!? I LOVE YOUR PLAYS SO MUCH!!! I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS TO ASK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to hear it, and best of luck with your presentation :)

I agree, I am actually Juliets age (13). But I believe that that is the point of the play.
