"Pictures"

We are finally starting Romeo and Juliet, and I am so excited. It seems that we always hear about Shakespeare, and the great and awesome tragedies he wrote, but it we never get around to actually reading the plays. I am so ready for this section! I have the original version at one side, a new translation on the other, cliff note at hand if needed, and to top if off there is always the blog to ask questions. I truly don't see how someone can't manage this book, there is SO many resources!

Now to the picture, I always did like this one. I always picture Juliet as a young, beautiful, bright, and witty girl. This picture to me has all of those elements combined, and I love it. Even before reading this novel, this is how I picture this magnificent character. I can only hope that my visions aren't crushed when reading. It seems that when it comes to these well-known books that we already have "pictures" of the characters in our head already. I am asking you tonight, to think of what the characters are already to you. I would love to hear what you think.
