HomeRomeo and Juliet--A Parody
Romeo and Juliet--A Parody
Summary: Juliet Capulet is just your average teenage girl until a chance meeting at a community dance changes her life forever. She meets Romeo Montague, who immediately starts stalking her, claiming they are meant to be together. For Juliet, this is just too much; she calls the police. How did such a story inspire the great William Shakespeare? It's not how you think!
AgentKIts great!! I love the twist you plled on the old story... More! More!

Lol this is so funny!!! I had to read Romeo & Juliet this year so it's great to see such an awesome parody after having to know the play inside out :P
ImagineerThat was awesome, great resolution.
Laugh-it-OutWe just finished Romeo and Juliet in school, so I know the play realy well, too well. Great job and really nice story. It was funny.
Thank you! It's a much better read when you've read the play.
subt1tl3This is awesome! I love the 'mysterious stranger'! Just a thought I do have for him though, is that I think you could have gave him a bit more of a conclusion. Sure we can guess who he is, but I reckon it could've been extended a bit. Otherwise it was brillaint!
Thanks for the critique and for taking the time to comment. :)
Lolol awesome job! You've got to make this into a movie! Or sell the story to a filmmaking company or SOMETHING because the world needs to see this!!!
Thank you! But that's definitely wishful thinking.
Angel8645So funny
hedwigy13Reading this reminded me of when I had to take Shakespeare's The Taming Of The Shrew and rewrite it in the modern world a few months ago. I should put it up. It was so funny; in my taming of the shrew, no one ended up in a high speed chase. (Drat!) :D
I meant your thing was funny. The only way mine was funny was if you actually read the play. I've never read Romeo and Juliet, but this was great.
Thank you! It helps that 'Romeo and Juliet' is such a cultural phenomenon that everyone knows the basic plot.
Wow, I was absolutely dying of laughter the entire time,... :) You are so incredibly talented.
Check out my work please? I'd love constructive criticism... thanks! :D

half.noteI've only read the first chapter so far, but it's terrific. I only needed to read the first paragraph to be hooked. I liked the references to your other story "A Letter to my Sister's Future Boyfriend". Or was it the other way around? I can't tell which you wrote first.
I just have one criticism for this Chapter. I found it unrealistic that the police would come just because Juliet claimed there was a boy following her around. They wouldn't take a call like that very seriously, and I d... (more »)
Obviously, the cop coming and initiating a car chase was meant to be over the top, as most parodies are. I know it wouldn't happen like that.
As for my Old English, it's not real Old English. It's just what I've picked up from movies and such.
