Get the Romeo Middle school mug.Romeo and Juliet is originally a novella written by Italian writer Luigi da Porto, who wrote this because he couldn't marry his cousin. It got revised by a monk named Matteo Bandello, then translated to Baguette Language by some French guy, then landed on Arthur Brooke. He then wrote it as a poem with some dark shit featuring Romeo banging his head against the wall, then named it Romeus and Juliet. And of course, Shakespeare read Brooke's work and based his tragedy on it, and we got the version of Romeo and Juliet that almost everyone hates.
Differences:
• The Da Porto novella features a passionate and truly in love Romeo and Giulietta, while the Shakespeare Tragedy has a set of horny teens who thought lust and love are the same. (I kinda blame it for the tragedy's shoddy timeline and Shakespeare turning them into teens.)
• The Shakespeare Tragedy features Tybalt and Mercutio with personalities, while the Da Porto novella only have them as extras.
• The Shakespeare Tragedy had Romeo dying all alone. In the Da Porto novella, he had Romeo dying until Giulietta woke up. (Kinda like Romeo+Juliet.)
To summarize, Romeo e Giulietta by Da Porto was born out of a man's failed love, while Shakespeare's tragedy was born to torment stupid teens while giving tears to Shakespeare Simps.
If you encounter this and experience symptoms such as cringe, brain damage and boredom, find more adaptations or read the novella.
(If symptoms persist, consult the Hungarian Musical Rómeó és Júlia.)

Get the Romeo and Juliet mug.Related Words
A Hungarian musical adaptation of French musical composer Gerard Presgurvic's Roméo et Juliette (Inspired by Shakespeare's Tragedy) featuring a mentally fucked Tybalt, fiery redhead Mercutio, an all but chaotic VeronaVerse and a death scene featuring Romeo (Rómeó) hanging himself to death and Juliet (Júlia) slashing both wrists. Not good for kids and snowflakes, but great for those who seeks an actually good Romeo and Juliet interpretation. The only downside is... It's written in Hungarian.
