As a Shakespeare fan, people going "we're like Romeo and Juliet :)" pisses me off. Romeo and Juliet were two kids who are together for three days with a total of six deaths, including their own. Shakespeare didn't write them as "omg couple goals!!", their story is a tragedy, not a romance.
It's not going "wow look they're so in love" it's going "wow look at these dumb fucks they're so stupid lmao" and the fact that that's not how English teacher teach it makes me angry
Psa because apparently some people need to hear this: if you're not comfortable with using someone's pronouns, a. keep it to yourself b. don't interact with them and/or c. don't use pronouns for them at all. It's not hard, fuck off you little bitch.
Isn't it like a comical tragedy? I forgot what those are called, and I don't read Shakespeare do idk.

If Shakespeare meant for it to be a cutesy "#goals" romance, he'd have written it as a comedy. Of course you're supposed to feel sympathy/empathy (always get them confused) for Romeo and Juliet, but the point of the story isn't that they're sooooo in looooove, it's that they're two kids who think that the only way they can be happy is to fucking kill themselves because of a stupid feud between their families.

It's a tragedy, but some people also read it as a satire. It has some comical moments though, namely via Mercutio
Ah ok, cuz when we read it in school we mostly read it as a satire.

You make a good point, but not everyone can be trans and bisexual like they are (kidding, this is just personal headcanons. If you read them as cishet I fully support you I just think they have very queer energies.)
Haven't read P&P yet, but I want to. Others for me are Dimitri and Anastasia, or Evie O'Neill and Sam Lloyd.

I've been meaning to, but I haven't been able to get as into my beloved classics lately :( also I don't have a copy yet
I have Sense and Sensibility though! Also haven't read it yet.

I think you could find a pdf online if you want to read it for free? Otherwise, you can usually get a copy of one of the classics for 5-8 dollars from Barnes and Noble. Good luck in your reading endeavors!

Oof I still haven't read that one yet but I've head it's great.

Thank you! I'm trying not to buy any more books until I see what I get for Christmas, but I'll probably pick of some of the Barnes and Noble classics the next time they're on sale. I've already got a handful of them.

I don't think they're queer (but still support head cannons, they can be fun), I just think people read them as queer-coded because they're actually loving which is something modern day cishet relationships are at least percieved to be lacking. Queer people tend to value love and each other more because we have to go through a lot of shit just to be together and feel okay being together.

You do make a good point there.
