Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In which John Green returns to William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to explore the themes of true love, lust, and whether Romeo and Juliet were truly, deeply in love, or they were just a pair of impetuous teens. How exactly did Romeo manage to go from pining for Rosaline to marrying Juliet in 36 hours? Maybe they were impetuous teens who were ALSO deeply in love. John looks into how the structure and conventions of society in medieval Verona led to the star-crossed lovers' downfall. Along the way, you'll learn about courtly love, medieval responsibility to church, family and society, Chipotle burritos as a metaphor for true love, and even learn about literary sex.

I've always felt the need for stability, and when i was a teenager, i was too scared to break the slightest rule. I've never been the sort to want to live the life to the full, i just wanna be stable and happy.

Thank you, before I watched this, I had completely dismissed Romeo and Juliet as a stuck-up, high-brow -love story- about idiots. You are living proof that context is everything.
