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.Julie-roses are inspiring beautiful creatures only few can understand, admired by many. They tend to give off this shine when they walk into a room. Some may think they are stupid or even shy but really they are just withholding their wit because not everyone deserves to see a Julie-rose at their fullest. It’s quite a site to see. They are goddess’s of love and accept people for who they are but diminish her friends or her, for that matter and you may enjoy her absence forever, she doesn’t even give you the chance to redeem yourself, she has made her decision. You are not worthy of a Julie-rose. Only she is the truest purest of all forms, deciding your fate will be easy for her. She loves to play and tease, laugh and push the boundaries of life. Let her show you life through her eyes and you will love again.
