might I say it's fictional. . . ?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Just because something is fictional doesn't mean it's unrealistic.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

wasn't going for realistic, might you know the difference between fictional and non fictional? No, apparently you don't. Fiction is a work of the imagination or invention, which contrasts with non-fiction (which is usually thought to be based on facts). Written works like novels, short stories, plays, and poems are fictional.

Well if you weren't going for realistic then what was the purpose of you comment "might I say it's fictional. . . ? "? Because it sounds to me that you think fiction excuses a work of literature from being reasonable.

mmhhmm. . . I don't think you have grasped what you've just done. Did you read the definition of fiction that I provided? You have made a fool of yourself. You don't do well in your English courses do you. I find many fictional books reasonable, Romeo & Juliet is one of them. I didn't say that Romeo & Juliet was not reasonable. I said it was a work of fiction. FICTION. Do I need to explain more? If so, I have my entire life to keep at this. I love when people don't agree with me, gives me a chance to educate! I love teaching people :)

I get that you said it's fiction, my question(that you still didn't answer) is "What's your point?". You keep saying it's fiction but so what? what are you getting at? And by the way I do just fine in English, and being able to spout off the definition of fiction doesn't mean you do.

Oh, good to to know. My point about my first comment "might I say it's fictional. . . ?" is what happened in the play was made up- it never happened in history. Give me a true story that played out exactly like the drama when/before Shakespeare wrote it, or after it for that matter (if after- the occurence was probably influenced upon reading the play) For all I know it might have happened in real life, without anyone actually knowing about it. A paradox. and might I add, you never asked me question beforehand. If so, I must have lost it in our witty banter :)

"You don't do well in your English class, do you?"

I'm sorry.... were you tryining to quote me? Or direct the statement at me? If Quote: Apparently, you cannot read or even mimic correctly. Copy and paste always does the trick. "You don't do well in your English courses do you." is the correct phrase that I used. Note that I didn't question, but assumed. If Statement: I'm well above average when it comes to English. If you're mocking the lack of comma in my correct quote, I am happy to inform you that every human makes a grammatical error now and then. Thank you, for being so kind as to ask me about my educational well-being. Sincerely, Either way. . . your comment backfired ;) P.S. This is very amusing for me and if the above is not what you meant, please inform me as to the purpose of your comment.

Very few humans make mistakes as major as that on accident. Besides, I was also "mocking" the lack of a question mark. It's a question.

Reread the Section "If Quote" If you did read it please note the last sentence, and I quote, "Note that I didn't question, but assumed." I intentionally did not add a question mark because I directed it as a statement. Also, I am positive that more than half of the people on amirite don't know how to use a comma properly. This is sad, no? ( hey look! a question mark!)

The sentence structure of what you said doesn't really work as both a statement (assumption, as you will have it) AND a question.

on another note, Romeo & Juliet is both a Tradgedy and Comedy. You just have to be fluent in shakespearean humour.

Shakespearean comedies always end in marriage. Tragedies end in death. You don't even see the marriage scene in R&J.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

this is where I counter with the ever popular ,*I believe*, that it is a piece of work that can be interpreted in any way. HENCE opinion. Just as you believe "Shakespearean comedies always end in marriage. Tragedies end in death. You don't even see the marriage scene in R&J" Shakespeare comedies end with a happy ending- not "always" a marriage. Thought I would correct you on that note.

There isn't always an actual wedding ceremony, but the main lovers get together at the end of comedies, and it's implied that they're going to be married "after the end", if you will.

It's not both. Basically comedy= happy ending tragedy=bad ending Now which do you think Romeo and Juliet had?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

It's Shakespeare's time, comedy was different from what comedy is to us today. A comedy meant that it was slapstick funny and there was a wedding at the end. A tragedy meant that it was serious, people died, and there was a funeral at the end. Personally, I find Romeo & Juliet to be funny, because they're such obnoxious people and the way they died was just so absurd, but it's a tragedy in the Shakespearean sense.

Quite frankly it is a happy ending. The two families stopped feuding and learned a powerful lesson. All it took was the deaths of their beloved children. See? Happy!

lol. i just finished reading romeo and juliet for english today. xDDD

In all fairness, Shakespeare didn't write with the intention of making it a romance. People today just take it as that because they've been misguided. If schools taught more in depth abouth shakespeare then we would know that Romeo and Juliet is actually a tragedy with satire thrown in. Anyone watching the play back then would know that Shakespeare was making a point about society by portraying the extremeties of human behavior.
