Shakespeare would use double entendre, puns, homonyms, and sexually explicit phrases throughout to show rebellion and demonstrate how language is the great equalizer amongst people. There's a lot of Elizabethan comedy throughout the play - it's hella dirty and if you know, you know. Throughout the play, the soldatos (soldiers) of each family go back and forth in the city of Verona, tearing shit up. The Montagues and the Capulets are in an age-old feud that neither family can remember the significant reason for. Buckle in, this is going to be a long one.įirst of all, it's a three-day rampage through a city by two powerful MAFIA families. Listen up, I'm about to learn you a thing or two about R&J and why even though it's old as shit, it's still really good shit.
Traditionally, R&J is taught as is, read out loud act by act in class by students who're embarrassed, can't understand it, find it cringy, and ask the age-old question of "why do we have to learn this?" How boring!
This is a tragedy though many consider it one of the greatest love stories of all time.
