Does this include Romeo and Juliet adaptations? Kind of a tangent but I do think that R&J shouldn't be in the high school curriculum. It shouldn't be banned or anything, but there's plenty of other good Shakespeare out there to replace it with that doesn't have teen suicide as a huge part of the story. Why? It's the perfect cautionary tale about "teenage love." I think it glorifies teen suicide. I don't think it's a cautionary tale about teenage love at all. I think it's a glorification of it. I think you read the story wrong then. It's about the dangers of teenage stupidity. How is a teenager going to interpret it though? And I definitely think all of the film adaptations of it glorify it rather than show it as dangerous/foolish. Not the fault of the work that teenagers are morons and intepret it (and derivative works like movies) as "romantic." I'm not saying it should be banned or anything, but I think there are better plays to use to teach Shakespeare to 15 year olds. --- I may not go down in history, but I will go down on your sister. <cite>Sativa_Rose posted [p:878063931] in 13 Reasons...
