The Final Tale Of Juliet And Her Romeo

"Never was there a tale of more woe/than that of Juliet and her Romeo." -Prince Escalus
I disagree.
There's too much COMEDY. Not enough TRAGEDY. And it was to hard to understand to make it that tragic.
There is a tale of more woe than that of Juliet and her Romeo. And, strangely, this more woeful tale has a HUGE connection to that of Juliet and her Romeo. (I really like that part, I don't know why)

Yes, my friends.

TITANIC.

And the connection: JACK!!! :'(
It's quite simple, really. Jack is played by Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio (7) who also plays Romeo in the 1996 film version of Romeo and Juliet alsongside Claire Danes.

But still, TITANIC is much more depressing than watching some guy kill himself over this one chick and then that one chick killing herself over that guy. Someone is seriously emotionally off-centered.
In TITANIC, you have to watch a jerk (who looks suspiciously like Paris from the 1968 version) try to kill most of the people, plus Jack and later Rose. Although there is some comedy, (I put the diamond in the coat...and I put the coat on her!) I think that being the survivor is far worse than being a victim. To have to go on (Jack! JACK! There's a boat, Jack! or just looking down over the rail -You're a good liar. -Almost as good as you.) is almost inconprehensible. If Juliet had started bawling, screaming, and throwing a fit (enter Elizabeth Turner from the end of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End after dear William is stabbed) i think Shakespeare could have created an even more emotional, moving scene. Or, if, when Romeo sees Juliet before he leaves for Mauntua, that they look at each other like Rose and Jack looked at each other while he was leaning over the rail of TITANIC and she was safely being lowered in a lifeboat. :'(
Yes, it could be worse.

And my quote for the week:

Gimli: I never thought I'd die fighting side-by-side with an Elf.
Legolas: How about side-by-side with a friend?

Romeo And Juliet Act Three Plus My Other Imaginary Books With Awesome Storylines In Which Revenge Is Very Common

Yes. Revenge...ah, the sweet taste of revenge...."Women do most delight in revenge." (Sir Thomas Browne) How true, how true...Romeo does too. I mean, Tybalt kills Mercrutio, Romeo kills Tybalt, and then The Prince banishes Romeo. How fun. And I don't like my character as much as I used to, same with Nurse (the backstabbing gossiper!)
Other than that, not much else happened to write about. Here's my Romeo and Juliet conspiracy theorem so far:
1. Before Mercrutio is killed, there is a wild outbreak of the Black Death, killing both of the Ladies.
2. Capulet and Montague, now having no one to tie them back, decide to fight each other and mortally wound each other in the process
3. We discover that Friar Lawrence, under orders from Romeo, had told Montague that someone Capulet had slipped Lady Mont. poison, killing her. We also discover that Juliet's Nurse, under orders from Juliet, had told Capulet that someone Montague had slipped Lady Capulet poison, killing her. (Both were preposterous, of course, but being the suspicious dingbats that they were, they believed the story and went to the duel)
4. Romeo and Juliet inherited all their parents wealth and titles, and, using the strength of their united houses, overthrew the  Prince and took Verona for their own.
5. And the rest of them lived happily ever after to the end of their days, save Tybalt and Paris, who also got in a fight (instigator=Romeo) and mortally wounded each other, similar to Montague and Capulet's situation.
THE END :)))))

This week's quote is from....(drum roll please)
LORD OF THE RINGS(The Fellowship of the Ring, 2001)!!!
(confetti cannons blow, wild screaming ensues)
Elrond: Ninde companions. So be it. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring.
Pippin: Great! Where are we going?

Romeo And Juliet Act 2 Plus Anything Else I've Managed To Read Over The Course Of A Very Very Very Very Very Flighty Week

When I say flighty, I mean that I don't remember much of it; see, I stayed home from school on Monday because I was sick, managed to make it through Tuesday, on Wednesday I left after lunch because, well, I felt like crap. So then on Thursday, I still had my fever, so another day was happily spent on the home front. And then on Friday, I had to go back to school because my fever couldn't stay for another few hours. Oh well. At least it's the weekend now.

Sooooo...Lord of the Rings....Well, there's still not much to say. I got into Book IV, not that it's as throttling as the beginning of Book III was. Sigh...I think it's because the BLOODY HOBBITS just sit around and talk gibberish all day.
In other news, me, being the sick cookie that I was, decided instead to watch all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies instead of reading more of the book. Not as bad a choice as it sounds. End of story.

I found Romeo and Juliet quite entertaining this time. I mean, they've known each other for two days and they're already getting married! ^^, But then I thought about a quote from one of the Pirates movies, about how "Now is not the time for rash actions,"But other than that, I think I'll just show you a few of my most favourite quotes from the text:

Juliet: O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?

--

Romeo: A thousand times the worse, to want thy light! Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books; but love from love, towards school with heavy hearts.

--

Mercrutio:...By Jesu, a very good blade! a very tall man! a very good whore!

--

Mercrutio: Good Peter, to hide her face; for her fan's the fairer face of the two.

--

Juliet: How art thou out of breath when thou hast breath to say to me that thou art out of breath?

^^,
And those are our quotes for the week people! Happy Valentine's Day...
Until next week,

Romeo And Juliet Meets The Two Towers Again

Well, all things said, they didn't meet for long. See, TTT has been temporarily sidelined. Sad, I know. But necessary for the time being. :'( It's almost worse than the first time I watched the end of Titanic and I realised that Jack was going to die about 45 minutes before he actually did. Star-cross'd lovers from District 12...*sigh*

Anyways, on to Romeo and Juliet. I think Sampson should stay a servant because he has prejudiced, sexist, and violent views on pretty much everything. If I could kill any character so far, it would be him.
Another really annoying thing: Shakespeare writes an entire sonnet just to say no, I haven't seen so-and-so. COME ON, PEOPLE!
On that note, I would like to ask why Juliet is already getting marriage proposals at age 12. 12. Yes, 12. I mean, I get that back then it was common for people to marry young, but still, 12! That's younger than I am, and there's certainly no way I'm ready to be married- and probably divorced  later on....Wait...is she 12, 13, or 14? They keep giving references to her being 12, then to her being 13!!! SO CONFUSING!!
Also, I found that one of the servants- Abram, I think- shares a line with Legolas from The Two Towers movie. It's only two words, but they are highly accusational. "You lie!" (Yes, I notice random little things like that ^^,)

Quotes this week, as many as I had, I have chosen one as ironic as possible. Although the character that says this quote is somewhere around 20, it's still rather ironic.
"I'm so ready to be married."- Elizabeth Swann, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (which I watched today because I was at home with a fever)
