When Was Romeo And Juliet Written Mga Nobela at Kwento

Actually, halos lahat ng ipinapampahay ko ay galing sa kanya. Nang matapos ako ay lumabas ako ng flat at sakto ring pabalik na siya. Mukhang naligo rin siya. Ang bango talaga kahit hindi pa man siya tuluyang nakakalapit sa'kin. "Tara na," yaya ko. Nagpatiuna na ako habang bitbit ang hindi naman kakapalan na libro. It's a copy of a tragic story of Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare. Pinasadya ko talaga itong ipa-hardbound bago pa man ang kasal nina Kenya.

Wala siyang magawa kundi lumayo at palitan ang paksa habang sinabi, “Tingnan mo, ang ‘Romeo and Juliet’ ay limang araw ang kabuuan, at ang ‘Titanic’ ay limang araw din na isang uri ng kumbensyon para sa mga Western playwrights, at hindi dapat ito seryosohin.” Tumingin si Helena kay Charlie at sinabi nang seryoso, “Hindi ko alam kung totoo ang dalawang kuwento na iyon, pero alam ko na totoo ang kuwento na nahulog ako sayo sa ilang araw lang.”

Amidst the melodramatic platitudes and cued teardrops, there’s still an unmistakable amount of truth in the sentiment. One of the greatest love stories, Romeo and Juliet, was a matter of timing. In the play’s climactic end, seconds are all that separate tragedy from triumph. Had Juliet woken up seconds sooner, or had Romeo arrived seconds later, maybe Shakespeare’s classic love story wouldn’t have ended in tragedy. In a way, She’s Dating the Gangster is its own tragedy. And like Romeo and Juliet, it’s a tragedy that could’ve been readily (though maybe not easily) avoided.
