Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

So from what I read on the blog a lot of people have been confused about the reading. It's good to know I am not the only one. Shakespeare's language is so hard to understand and what you think it would mean it doesn't mean that at all. When Ms. James explained last night's reading in class today it helped me look at it a whole different way. For example I thought that when Sampson was bragging about how tough he was and acting all macho that he was a pretty brave guy but then when the fight happens he becomes a big coward and let's Gregory jump in instead of him. Tonight's reading wasn't as hard for me. There were still some parts I had no clue what they were talking about but the majority of the time I could figure it out. So we learn that Romeo is in love but for some reason is very sad about this love. So I was a little confused is this Juliet he is talking about or does she come later??? I thought it was pretty funny when Benvolio was trying to help him foget about her and keep her mind of her but he just seemed to make it worse. Even though Shakespeare is really confusing I think that in a way it is so beautiful. The rhythm and flow of his writing is just wonderful especially in the lines Romeo has had so far. It is just so hard to believe that one man could have thought all this up and wrote all this amazing literature. If a guy wrote love poems like that to me I would fall for him in a second. I am really looking forward to keep reading and meet Juliet, and I feel that by the end of this play we will all be pros at figuring out Shakespearean language if we are not already.
