I share the sentiment with many others in this thread - I didn't like Romeo and Juliet either LOL. I don't really like Shakespeare at all. I've read several of his works (most recently The Tempest), and I just don't really like his style. And I love romance, but I was largely underwhelmed by Romeo and Juliet. But Shakespeare is, of course, eloquent. And this quote is basically like the thesis of an essay - it's a really well put summary of what's gonna be talked about. I'm pretty good at writing theses myself, but this one is on another level! For that alone, I'll give it a 7/10!
