Romeo and Juliet

The Prologue to Romeo and Juliet that I memorized in High School is completely missing. This is a bogus, incomplete version of the story. "Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Doth with their death bury their parents' strife. The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend."

I read this during my free time and it just didn't seem like a genuine story. The premise was promising and somewhat interesting, albeit it was just seemingly fabricated and absolutely convienient for the plot. Characterization, mostly Romeo's, was inconsistently bad and not very well played out. I found it staggeringly irritating to follow this manufactured love story that was seemingly rushed and unnatural. Development was shoddy and entirely didn't really have anything that stood out.

The story is unethical on so many levels, all the crimes that Romeo commits are made and justified by the name of love! He kills Tyblet, and he kills Paris then they make a statue of gold to honer his memory and the love between him and Juliet! More importantly, nobody sees Romeo as a killer, all girls look at him as the most romantic character in literature and they wish he existed in reality
