I see the word “star“, I think of this play. Always.

E.Bolhafner I think it is interesting how star stands for fates, in Shakespeare negative fate, but in things like tarot or even general culture stars stand for good fortune or something positive/bright in the darkness... a blessing instead of a curse. 3y

dabbe @E.Bolhafner I totally agree. To even add to that, night and red can usually be symbols of danger and death but also of romance and love--or in R&J's case, both. The only times they're together in the play (except when marrying) is at night: “Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-brow'd night ... Give me my Romeo.“ 3y

dabbe @TheSpineView Always. 😍 3y

TheLudicReader Love this play. Just collected my grade 10 essays. :-) 3y

dabbe @TheLudicReader Oooh! What did they have to write on if I may be so bold as to ask? 😀 3y

TheLudicReader @dabbe topics included who/what was to blame for R&J‘s deaths, is the play about love or violence, were Romeo and Juliet really in love, how did Romeo subvert gender norms…fun times. Lol 3y

dabbe @TheLudicReader LOVE these topics! My pick (if I had to write said essay) would be about who/what was to blame. Was it those accursed stars from the get-go? Oh, I could write volumes! I bet you get some good stuff. 💙💚💙 3y
