Since I was a young girl my mother used to tell me about Qays and Layla, Romeo and Juliet and all these kinds of tragic love stories that show how people can be completely out of their minds when it comes to love. They would hurt themselves, or even kill themselves for reasons that might seem entirely nonsense, but it's love! The mystery that changes everything and everyone.

Romeo and Juliet is doubtlessly the most famous love story of all times and I'm aware of this, but there are still things I didn't quite adjust which are mostly the huge amount of exaggeration this play contains. I know that exaggeration is required on stage, but here IT'S TOO MUCH! I couldn't believe how can it be possible for two couple to actually fall in love (true love) at the first sight and get married right on the next morning? Call it admiration or lust or anything but not love! I'm sure if things were different and Romeo and Juliet had a life together they would've realised that too, and they would probably get a divorce after fighting for long loooong hours.

Even though the play was written in the 16th century by one of my favourite greatest writers, I still couldn't take the play seriously or realistically. It all seemed to me like a story of two teenagers who couldn't distinguish between their feelings and their desires.

Now, don't get me wrong! No mater how much I think the play is nothing but a fantasy, but I still believe that fantasy is one thing that holds us together, and it sure makes this world bearable. Pretty lies make our world better, somehow. Also, I loved the characters, the quotes and the language I MEAN OF COURSE! It's Shakespeare! As for the ending, I don't know about what others think, but for me I only feel sad when someone dies and the other lover gets to live his\her life with pain, but when both lovers die at the same time, what's so sad about it?
