thanks for the chapter!

I recently learned that in "Romeo & Juliette", Romeo was engaged or been courting Juliette sister before or at the beginning of play. Then he fell in love at first sight with Juliette when he saw her at the party.

I guess casual people had misunderstood the true context of the story and believed it to be romance instead of tragedy that the author intended it to be.

Rosalind is Juliet's cousins not sister

In an earlier chapter, they also saw Hamlet and Serea didn't know it was from Earth either. Denmark (Hamlet) and Italy (Romeo and Juliet) are IRL contries

Yeah, when I said "at first" I was actually thinking about Hamlet, I had forgotten that the first play she saw was Hamlet (not Romeo + Juliet).

The though bubble is too much of a pain to clean, but it would make a nice reaction:

I should learn to read more slowly...

that journey to the moons is very literal. . .

Yeah, I thought it would be the Japanese folklore about the moon princess, but instead we got Apollo-11 mission...

A lot of people only read the sparknotes. The vast majority of Shakespeare's plays are a comedic tragedy hence why I said "emotional and stupid people dying stupid deaths" because that's what they are. Romeo & Juliette is actually the epitome of the comedic tragedy and you're supposed to be laughing at how these two idiots killed themselves because they're so dramatic about everything and never bothered to talk things out

why is this author such a shakespeare hater? very funny to keep trotting out your beef with the most popular playwright of all time (especially when the characters' criticisms come from a very superficial reading.)

that’s what i’m saying!!! in-universe it’s fine for serea to interpret R+J superficially since she passed away as a child, but on a meta textual level the opinions presented are no better than a 3am tumblr text post 🫠 it’s ballsy for the author to tell us that the two most famous works of the most famous playwright in western literature were “actually kinda lame tbh” 😭

i dont know if laughing at romeo and juliet is actually the intended effect because the play presents some really crazy tragic outside casualties (like mercutio cough cough). the play presents it all as a tragedy because of the foolishness of the two lead characters. multiple people got murked because of the mistakes of two lovestruck buffoons, and though ymmv i’d say that qualifies as tragic and not comedic 😅

A lot of Shakespeare's works are their version of satire. It's a tragedy of their making and it got there in the dumbest way possible. A lot of his works openly mocks the upper class

If you're ever seen the actual play in production you would understand how comedic it is. Everything about it super over the top, the main characters are always acting like idiots, a lot of the side characters are caricatures. There's a lot of laugh out loud moments.
