(Since it was the story of Romeo and Juliet? Not an original story?) Whatever you want to call it, I really enjoyed it. At first, I had a hard time figuring out who the characters LOOKED like, since I am used to novels/plays where it always just tells me who is talking, and I don't ever have to think about what the character looks like. This is a novel I want to use in class to help students get a better grasp of the play. Although I maintain my attitude that Shakespeare was writing to point out how stupid young people in love are (Ex: Romeo, for the entire first act almost, is 'in love' with Rosaline, not Juliet.) It gives me some sick twisted pleasure to burst this little bubble for my students. That aside, I really think the R&J is one of the best plays. (This is partially, I think, due to the fact that when I teach something, I have to get super excited about it, so that I can get students excited about it. Partially, I think it is also due to the close-reading I do more as a teacher than I did as a student--checking for ANYTHING that might make it even a tad more interesting.) The story is SO GREAT, I just PRAY that I can do it justice in class, and help students get over the language barrier that is, inherently, Shakespeare. This was a great read as a reminder for all the greatness that is The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. This is my first graphic novel, if it can rightly be called that?
