Romeo And Juliet - The Novel

This easy novel form makes the play more understandable with all the speech included but modernised to aid a first study.

Written as a novel, the whole play is penned with character insights into what each person is thinking before and after they speak. All of the original text is included but updated for a modern understanding. Rather than place the play in its original setting this novel is set in a time unknown and written after the Gender Wars and probably after Religious Consolidation in a steampunk era without electricity. Whether you read this novel for study or merely for enjoyment then the ideal would be that you complete it with an overwhelming desire to then read the original play in its original language. Five Star rating. “Never could get into Wills but this was great.” Excerpt 1 Romeo had been distracted by the hiss of steam from a door opening device, the steam thick in the night air, illuminated as a light swept across the orchard when the balcony doors were opened. “Wait, what’s that light from that window over there. It’s Juliet as bright as the sun rising in the east and totally out-classing this sick and pale looking moonlight. I bet the moon’s jealous of her being more beautiful then it could ever be. Juliet, she wears the moons virginal clothes, pale and green as they are, please, cast them off for me now.” Excerpt 2 “Oh, please Romeo, have a different surname, after all what is the importance of a name. The thing that we call a rose, if we called it something else, it wouldn’t change its characteristics and it would smell just as sweet. So, if Romeo had a different surname, he’d have that same perfection but without the name. Romeo, ditch your surname and in its place, I will give you the whole of me.”
