"Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare is some of my favorite plays. Therefore, I really enjoyed reading from this very romantic play. In my opinion, the part we read in class is the best part of the story. This made the class even more enjoyable. The English language in this play is from the early modern period. Therefore, I sometimes found it bit hard to understand at first glance. On the other hand, there was several of the English words we got explained in class that was very similar to Norwegian, and hence, easy for me to understand. The story of Romeo and Juliet is still amazing and current as the theme of forbidden or unhappy love is prevalent in every culture and social class. Reading the transcript also made me recall drama classes in College where we played this part of the play. I also remembered one of my favorite films called "Romeo + Juliet" featuring Leonardo Di Caprio and Claire Danes. I include a clip of my absolute favorite scene of the 1996-film and please listen to the fantastic music. It gives me goose pimples every time I listen to it...
