Spicy Summer: Romeo and Juliette

"Romeo and Juliette: The Orginal Enemies to Lovers" This is the third episode in our August Spicy Summer series, where we look at one element of the romance genre and put it under the microscope. This year we're looking at the relationship dynamics in different stories, what makes them so unique, and what they contribute to a story. Today we're discussing perhaps the TEXTBOOK example of the "doomed" or "tragic romance" with Shakepeare's infamous: Romeo and Juliette. Here to lead us through the ups and deep, deep downs is literature teacher Hannah Gilbert to explain what we should, and defintely shouldn't, take away from this landmark play.
