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)
-Jenni (who intends to be feeling much better tomorrow)
I wonder if the Legolas quote was an intentional nod to Shakespeare ~
ReplyDeletejk, but that would be pretty wierd if it was.
It's quite possible. I mean, what's wrong with Shakespeare? It's got a certain...class to it, if you know what I mean.
