Extra Credit Blog

The final scene of Romeo and Juliet was actually probably my favorite. I really liked the dramatic nature present in it, and I enjoyed how the action kept building. A lot of characters' lines from that scene appealed to me as well, especially Romeo's monologue before he commits suicide. I also thought the last lines from the Prince were very good; the rhyming in particular made them a great conclusion to the play.

I thought the entire story was very interesting and creative. Shakspeare's poetic language added a unique, artistic feeling to the book that kept my attention through every scene. Romeo and Juliet obviously has had a large influence on pop culture; there are tons of stories and movies today with similar themes to the play. Romeo and Juliet's names are also quite abundantly referenced in most any form of media.
