I just know I got the years wrong … I tried to remember far back and couldn’t recall it … also the fact that I only studied Shakespeare in like the first grade of high school and never before or again is what messed me up with the quotes … I’ve never even read a play by him, just seen 2 movies and that’s it

lucky you … I would’ve read them but I’m not smart enough to get them … I can only be amazed when somebody is explaining all the ways Shakespeare was clever and how amazing every line is … but figuring it out for myself was never possible so I never read one of his books knowing I would find it boring and I know it’s not boring but amazign I just can’t see the amazing … you understand?

Yeah and on the 13th I put “As you like it” and changed it because I remebered the only thing I knew about it, the fact that it takes place in a forest so I change it to the comedy one cause it sounds more like a play where a stage would be used as a metaphore for life … ugh

I meant for Juliet’s age >~< I originally put 13 and changed it to 15 because I read a scene from a play and it said Juliet was 15. Of course it was a spoof play but still
