    Author

    William Shakespeare

    William Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, on England’s Avon River. When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. The couple had three children—an older daughter Susanna and twins, Judith and Hamnet. Hamnet, Shakespeare’s only son, died in childhood. The bulk of Shakespeare’s working life was spent in the theater world of London, where he established himself professionally by the early 1590s. He enjoyed success not only as a playwright and poet, but also as an actor and shareholder in an acting company. Although some think that sometime between 1610 and 1613 Shakespeare retired from the theater and returned home to Stratford, where he died in 1616, others believe that he may have continued to work in London until close to his death.

      This is my first graphic novel, if it can rightly be called that? (Since it was the story of Romeo and Juliet? Not an original story?)

      Whatever you want to call it, I really enjoyed it. At first, I had a hard time figuring out who the characters LOOKED like, since I am used to novels/plays where it always just tells me who is talking, and I don't ever have to think about what the character looks like.

      This is a novel I want to use in class to help students get a better grasp of the play. Although I maintain my attitude that Shakespeare was writing to point out how stupid young people in love are (Ex: Romeo, for the entire first act almost, is 'in love' with Rosaline, not Juliet.) It gives me some sick twisted pleasure to burst this little bubble for my students. That aside, I really think the R&J is one of the best plays. (This is partially, I think, due to the fact that when I teach something, I have to get super excited about it, so that I can get students excited about it. Partially, I think it is also due to the close-reading I do more as a teacher than I did as a student--checking for ANYTHING that might make it even a tad more interesting.)

      The story is SO GREAT, I just PRAY that I can do it justice in class, and help students get over the language barrier that is, inherently, Shakespeare.

      This was a great read as a reminder for all the greatness that is The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.
