All the freshman who just finished reading it keep talking about Romeo and Juliet. I’m going to tell you what I tell all of them: I’m glad Romeo died at the end. He deserved it, that jerk. Romeo got Mercutio killed, the one cool character in the play. Mercutio was even a good enough friend to stand up for Romeo when Tybalt was being a bully, and what does Romeo do? Lets him die. Romeo waits until after Mercutio has been killed to avenge him and fight Tybalt. Nice job, jackass; now your best friend is dead and you’ve been banished from your house. What will Juliet think when she finds out she’s married such a loser?
The ending, although agreeable, needs some minor modifications. For example, after Romeo dies, instead of having Juliet kill herself, I would have Mercutio come back to life, spit on Romeo’s grave and lie with his wife. After that, Mercutio would run around and eat babies. Damn, that would be wicked; I should do this for a living. Shakespeare’s just lucky I wasn’t alive during his time, or he’d be out of a job.
Don’t agree with me? Then don’t leave a comment; you’re obviously wrong.
