Ever thought of what it would be like to write a poem with a complete stranger? Well, that’s actually how Romeo and Juliet first fell in love. Sound like a strange first date?
In this lesson, we will see how poetry writing helped the two lovers leave the toxic world they were in. The language they developed through writing a poem is their first act of developing a relationship that can exist outside of their social constructs, a relationship of individuals.
We’ll look at: • How Shakespeare changes the way we speak about love 💖 • Romeo’s experience with the toxic masculinity of Verona • The significance of the religious imagery in the couple’s first poem 🙏🏽
