My thoughts on Act 1

I thought act 1 was okay. I have recently found out that Shakespeare was a very odd writer. The ways that he showed Juliet that he loved her was quite odd. He told her that she was a shrine and his lips we two pilgrims looking to pray. Yet she told him hands can do that, and he said to let lips do what hands do. He kissed he five minutes of meeting her. That is something that might have happened in the older times, but not as much in these modern times. In the writings he tells about how they are in the deepest form of love, yet she is only thirteen, I don't think you can really find love at that age, because you don't really know what you are looking for. Shakespeare wrote that Romeo was the son of his enemy but the town of Verona, so that Tybalt would not confront him, which made Tybalt mad, why would he say that. Romeo was crashing his party i would have confronted him, except for the princes decree, about how he would banish the person whomever fought another. Shakespeare is a well writing author and i cant wait to see what he brings up next.
