THE PRINCE AT THE END OF THE PLAY:

[tybaltstan]

something i love is that you can have the most indifferent feelings possible for a shakespeare play but there is guaranteed someone on tumblr obsessed with it and you can read their posts and find yourself appreciating it a little bit more. their love for it spills over to you.

i do adore the idea that behind the mask nothing counts

Someone stop me from picking twitter fights over Romeo and Juliet

Who are the six deaths? No, please tell me who are the six people who die because of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship and not because of the ongoing bloody feud resulting in a cycle of generational violence that’s been going on probably since much before they were born, and that their deaths put an end to? Please enlighten me. Go ahead. I’m waiting.

I want to know how two teens naively making some rash decisions in the face of the strong feelings of sweet young love (and yeah lust too, that’s natural and okay) are to blame for this carnage, and not the irrational hatred between these two houses, kept alive even though no one remembers how the ancient grudge started

I’m this close to going over every death in the play, in fact I think I have before. I’ll grant you that R&J themselves wouldn’t have committed suicide if they didn’t have their relationship AS WELL as the conflict (though I would still blame mostly the conflict) and maybe Paris (I admittedly don’t care about him).

Tybalt and Mercutio are on the feud unless you’re gonna blame Romeo for trying to stop a fight. Other people would have died instead since, you know, their death wouldn’t have buried their parents strife

The play opens with a street fight before they ever laid eyes on each other! The prince was already fed up with that kind of thing!

If people think this tragedy is a cautionary tale, why would they think it’s against love, as rash as it might be, and not against hatred?

Also, yes Juliet is 13, there’s zero evidence of Romeo’s age. Not a big deal but I keep seeing this repeated and I don’t know where people get that. “Signed everyone who actually read it” Fuck you! Get your facts straight!

stephen king is not without his flaws but after seeing so many people's criticisms boil down to "the themes in this disturbing horror story disturbed me," i am hard-pressed to take them seriously

[tybaltstan]

yh you may like romeo and juliet and all its adaptations but do u occasionally read the source material outloud at 3 am and just sob a little

[tybaltstan]

i don’t have anything to add except to say I too was once a 15 year old lesbian thinking “juliet is so me fr” and now I’m a 19 year old lesbian and juliet is still so me fr and I will go up to bat for this play in the replies of any fool’s 2 star goodreads review any day of the week

REAL AS FUCK also what is it that draws lesbians to this play like moths

i, unfortunately, am a tyblt capulet apologist. reblog if you, too, are a tybalt capulet apologist.

[tybaltstan]

Music fans reblog this with an album you consider “your” album… one that is part of your personality, one that means a lot to you, or just one you really like… Mine is The Perfect Shade of Green by Skittish :>

[tybaltstan]

In theory I guess maybe there are other Tybalts than Jon Legiuzamo and other Mercutios than Harold Perrineau but frankly I doubt it

Quick,You now live your icon's life,HOW SCREWED ARE YOU?
