I have a theory that the majority of people who're incredibly adamant that characters (ie. Romeo and Hamlet) are adults are the same idiots who think Shakespeare is some complex enigma that only professional scholars should ever even look at.( Because what teenager could EVER TRULY understand what death is. or something). idk. just something about elitism. even though most of his original audience was illiterate. this is a huge stretch but maybe thats why The Winter's Tale isn't as popular, because both Perdita and Florizel are both very explicitly 16 but maybe thats just me.

#og #hamlet #prince hamlet #r+j #romeo #meta #the winters tale #perdita #florizel #NOT saying you can't interpret said characters as adults. i can vibe to a hamlet in his 20s but refusing to see other's pov is weird

I feel like this isn't discussed enough but the four of the five people who died in Romeo and Juliet were teens and victims of the Capulet and Montague feud. Shakespeare basically almost killed off an entire Verona generation.

Mercutio: He's the first to die and he's not even from either house, he's actually related to the prince. Mercutio's death is where comedy turns to tragedy, and he dies cursing the two houses who let their feud not only destroy each other but Verona too.

Tybalt: He's the example of letting the feud consume you and letting it dictate your every action. He was so consumed by the curse of the feud that he hunted down Romeo for just showing up to a Capulet party. Rember, he had no idea that Romeo secretly married Juliet, and per Lord Capulet Romeo actually had a good reputation around town. That's how lost Tybalt was.

Romeo and Juliet: Our lead couple who tried to bridge their houses through love after several generations of hatred. They didn't want anything to do with the feud, they were just sadly born into it. Which is demonstrated by Romeo's and Tybalt's fight, Romeo never wanted to fight but that didn't mean he couldn't. In the end the couple succeeded stopping the feud but at the cost of their own lives.

It's sad that all of these authority figures, the Capulets, the Montegues, and the Prince (yes, he's included), failed so badly they lost a generation. By the end of the play the only two left of their generation that we know of is Rosaline Capulet, and Benvolio Montague.

Maybe they were left to cross the bridge their cousins built.

Paris: You’re receiving a ticket for having two people on one motorcycle.

Mercutio: Shit.

Benvolio: Wait, two?

Paris: Yeah?

Mercutio: OH MY GOD ROMEO FELL OFF!

Idk why but benvolio seems like the kind of guy who runs around wearing cargo shorts all year, even if there's a literal fucking blizzard outside or something like that

Tybalt: You lying, cheating, piece of-! Benvolio: Oh yeah? You’re the idiot who thinks you can get away with everything you do. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD! Tybalt: I’m leaving you, and I’M TAKING MERCUTIO WITH ME! Juliet, picking up the monopoly board: I think we’re gonna stop playing now.

the reason why so many people purposefully misinterpret romeo and juliet is because the play has over time become a synonym for “cheesy love story” so you get tons of people analyzing it in the most absurd ways like saying that shakespeare wrote romeo and juliet to demonstrate the stupidity of teen love because they try to pose a contrast to the popular image of the play in order to not be seen as cheesy themselves. a lot of those people are also 14 year olds trying to seem edgy which is at least understandable but there’s also some adults who are just so desperate to express their contempt for everything “romantic” that they hate on a play about fate and free will and children suffering from the actions or inaction of supposed authority figures while not understanding that the fault in their interpretation lies in the fact that they built it to be the complete opposite of an opinion that is wrong in the first place.

#these people will also never engage with the source material in question and if they did it wouldn't be in good faith #and i get that they couldn't care less about the actual play but use the topic to demonstrate something about their own personality #but i do care stop misinterpreting my favorite shakespeare play oh my god #also there are of course valid reasons to dislike r+j or people who don't like it simply bc it's not their taste i'm not talking about them! #r+j #(<- tagging for blog organization)

Oh no Tybalt is very much as complex a character as the other teens in this play and is as much of a victim of society as his cousins.

But if I'm ever in a room with that yapping chihuahua it's on sight!

#romeo and juliet #tybalt is a little bitch and i kick his ass #tybalt #tybalt capulet #rj #r+j #hell yeah i bite my thumb at you tybalt

Tbh Juliet Capulet has the right idea because if someone said that I taught the torches to burn bright and that the sun was envious of my beauty I’d die for him too

[rudestmechanical]

literally nobody understands romeo & juliet like i do. there is a deliberate hope for change and reunion and betterment!! every family is explicitly stated to have a living heir left!!! benvolio and rosaline and valentine all have the opportunity to change things!!!! it is so significant that benvolio is the only one we see actively involved in the feud and even then he opposes its existence!!! romeo & juliet ends with hope not despair!!! ‘[…] doth with their death bury their parents’ strife’!!! the feud is over!!! things are going to get better!!!!!
