Romeo and Juliet

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.)
Romeo and Juliet is not cringe. You just watched a bad adaptation of it.

Romeo et Juliette

"Romeo et Juliette: de la Haine a La'Amour" is a French musical adaptation of Shakespeare's Tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" by Gerard Presgurvic featuring the the Montagues and Capulets looking like minions from League of Legends, a death persona, Baguette, Romeo with long hair, Baguette, Juliet singing like an angel and many more. The downside is... It's written in French.
This Romeo et Juliette musical has a Juliet with an angelic voice. If only her acting complements it...

Romeo and Juliet

An actually good and simple love story bastardized by an English playwright, featuring a fiery but gentle lady from the Capulets/Cappellettis, a stubborn but passionate lad from the Montagues/Montecchis, poison, secret marriage, dagger, death and sleeping with some old bones.
If only those damn teachers know Romeo and Juliet for what it actually is...

Romeo

The main male character of Romeo e Giulietta/Romeo and Juliet. His personality may vary depending on the adaptations the theater and movie realm gave to the world, but one thing's for sure: He loves Juliet. Like crazy. His portrayal is characterized into two:
Dark Romeo and Classic Romeo. (I prefer the dark interpretation if you ask me.)
Feminazi: Romeo's so cringe. He's so clingy to Juliet and he acts so creepy I would definitely kill him on sight.
Guy who reads Romeo e Giulietta: At least he genuinely loves his girl, unlike you. Unlovable and disgusting feminazi.
Feminazi: *microagression* YOU MALE PIGS AND ROMEO SHOULD BURN AT THE STAKE!!!!!! *microgaression again*
Same guy: Idiot.

Classic Romeo

This (Full name: Classic Shakespearean Romeo) interpretation often follows the Shakespearean Tragedy as a guide, and as a result, most of the actors who did this interpretation often falls flat and outright boring. Those who nailed this, well... IDK. I've never seen actors who nailed this interpretation, as I think it's far harder to portray than its counterpart, Dark Romeo.

(To be honest with you reader, I hate Classic Romeo.)
Dyl: Do you like Romeo in Romeo and Juliet?
Phyl: Yes, but not the one in the Shakespearean Play. It's a Classic Romeo, and it never fails to give me the worst kind of cringe ever known to man.
