Honestly, Shadow and Bone was literally what many people disparage Twilight for being (but was actually not): A terribly-written romance drenched in creepy American purity culture with a much more interesting but underutilized fantasy world.

È sempre buffo notare quanto diversamente mi leggano i bambini: 5 ritratti, 1 individuo, 5 persone diverse. Forse hanno ragione loro ed è proprio così. Sono in ognuno di quei disegni e in nessuno di loro. Ma finché mi ricreeranno coi loro occhi, rinascerò colore nuovo ogni giorno.

R&J Clown Takes Special Edition—Juliet Is (No Longer) Tragically Basic

From a non-clownish overview of Juliet’s character portrayals throughout the centuries come some tiresome if minor clownery about how Juliet’s character ~should be portrayed re: adaptations. Alas, alas.

Considering it was the Friar’s explicit plan to have them consummate their relationship, it’s Occam’s Razor by this point.

Of course Shakespeare is not going to have a full-on sex scene in front of his 16th-century Theater audience!!! You fiends!!! But it would have been completely understood by his audience at the time that R&J consummated their relationship as husband and wife. However importune the match would have been viewed by the Elizabethans, the Friar is still a figure of religious authority and keen for the lovers to consummate their marriage and therefore make it truly legal. His urging for Romeo to give “comfort” to Juliet should be read in this light.

Also. While R&J’s relationship does not depend on sex, their (erotic-sexual) longing for each other is nonetheless crystal clear. This article bizarrely does not mention Juliet’s “Give me my Romeo” soliloquy and how it had been censored by the Victorians. And then there’s Romeo wanting Juliet to cast off her vestal livery.

R&J’s love is true and sincere and based on more than just animal spirits, as Shakespeare makes it clear. They also clearly want to fuck. And it’s ten to the hundred they did. One does not negate the other.

Because her original Elizabethan character is not entitled to respect, amirite? She had absolutely no fun with Romeo, not even during her balcony scene, and ~of course, she lacked a sense of self or even personality (!!) with Romeo. Shakespeare!Juliet has no personality in that wee female brain of hers, all occupied by icky romance.

As if this horrible musical could not sound any worse, we must contend with this misogyny. And again, the double standards rankle: There is none of this pearl-clutching earnestness about Romeo being an adequate role model to young boys—where is him having fun and seeking more from life than just romance and having the opportunity to discover himself out of his famous love affair???? It’s especially hypocritical when this Juliet escapes to Paris and procedes to have romantic entanglements.

Because “star-crossed” was totally not a gentle way by the Chorus to refer to lovers cruelly torn apart from fate and circumstance. Nothing soft or romantic or nonjudgmental about that description at all.

Also, romance = not being a gripping tale!!!! You guys are killing me here. Killing me.
