Romeo and Juliet Act 1 Scene 1

Dear Sydney,

I think Romeo and Juliet is already becoming a pleasure to read. I really enjoy how unique it compared to the modern novel. The text is so thought out and advanced; it makes me stop and question the quality of the books I'm reading now. There is a sense of ease and authenticity in his writing that you don't usually see in most books. Shakepere is a very true and talented writer which I exceedingly appreciate.

I've noticed that even though the play is set in a very different time period, I can easily relate to the characters. Shakepere has already presented each of the characters with very defined personalities. I'm only about 30 pages into the book- and he's already shown the characters individuality/persona. Although it is very challenging writing, under all of the complexity is clarity. It's almost like a contradiction- which makes it more compelling.

I'm very interested to see how the characters and the plot develop!
