0:06 - 0:09Yo! What it do?! This week on Thug Notes we gettin'
-
0:09 - 0:12love struck with Romeo
and Juliet by William Shakespeare. -
0:16 - 0:19Up in the slinky part of Verona,
two families called the Montagues -
0:19 - 0:23and the Capulets been beefin' since forever.
-
0:23 - 0:25After dodgin' all that war in the streets,
-
0:25 - 0:28big daddy Montegue and his boo-lady
Montegue start talkin' -
0:28 - 0:33about their Emo son, Romeo,
who got it bad for some fox, Rosaline. -
0:33 - 0:35But Rosaline ain't feelin' it.
-
0:35 - 0:38And now Romeo mopin' around
like he done lost his nuts. -
0:38 - 0:43So Romeo's homie-os, Benvolio
and Mercutio, try to get his mind off -
0:43 - 0:47that trick by crashin' a party
over at the Capulet's crib. -
0:47 - 0:50But as soon as Romeo peeps
the most tappable ass -
0:50 - 0:54in Juliet Capulet, he forgets
all about that Rosalineness -
0:54 - 0:56and steps up to holla' like a champ.
-
0:56 - 1:01Romeo loves himself some fast
women so he drops his a-game, -
1:01 - 1:05gets a little lip action, and snags
those digits! Get it, Romeo! -
1:05 - 1:08Then Romeo creeps up to Juliet's balcony.
-
1:08 - 1:11Turns out she bat-[bleep]
crazy in love with him too! -
1:12 - 1:14But since their families got so much beef,
-
1:14 - 1:16they gotta keep it all on the D.L.
-
1:16 - 1:19Next day, Romeo and Juliet
run off to local preacher man -
1:19 - 1:22Friar Lawrence's spot and get hitched!
-
1:22 - 1:26Later, Benvolio and Mercutio
takin' it easy when Tibalt, -
1:26 - 1:29the baddest mo-fo of all the Capulets,
-
1:29 - 1:31steps up and starts talkin' [bleep].
-
1:31 - 1:35Mercutio boot up and start scrapin' with Tibalt
-
1:35 - 1:38till Romeo busts in and tries to break it up!
-
1:38 - 1:42But Romeo just gets in the way
and Tibalt shanks Mercutio. -
1:42 - 1:43Damn!
-
1:43 - 1:45Romeo goes from whiny bitch
-
1:45 - 1:49to the hardest thug in the streets
and straight murds Tibalt. -
1:49 - 1:52The price of Verona had
it with all this gang violence, -
1:52 - 1:55so he boots Romeo right out of town!
-
1:55 - 1:57When Juliet's mama say she gotta marry
-
1:57 - 2:01some candy-ass scrub named
Paris, Juliet gets all torn up -
2:01 - 2:03and hits up Friar Lawrence for some help.
-
2:03 - 2:06Fri Daddy comes up with
the plan to fake Juliet's death -
2:06 - 2:10by givin' her some juice that
makes her take a long ass nap! -
2:10 - 2:13Then he gonna write Romeo
a letter, sayin' all he has to do -
2:13 - 2:16is play it cool and once Juliet wakes up,
-
2:16 - 2:19Romeo will have a lifetime
some [inaudible] poontang. -
2:19 - 2:22Problem is the letter never makes it to Romeo!
-
2:22 - 2:26So when hears Juliet bit the dust,
he thinks this [bleep]s for real! -
2:26 - 2:29Romeo straight flips!
-
2:29 - 2:32So he rolls up to Juliet's crypt,
peeps her layin' stiff, -
2:32 - 2:34and throws back some poison.
-
2:34 - 2:37When Juliet wakes up
and sees his dead body, -
2:37 - 2:41she gets all crump, grabs a knife, and kills herself.
-
2:41 - 2:43Teenagers, man. Damn!
-
2:47 - 2:48Peep this motif, blood!
-
2:48 - 2:51Willy Shake's flippin' opposites all up in this play.
-
2:51 - 2:55Love, hate, youth, age, life, death..
-
2:55 - 2:56I ain't even trippin'.
-
2:56 - 2:58Even characters got opposites.
-
2:58 - 3:02For example, while Benvolio
be all chill and peace lovin', -
3:02 - 3:05Tibalt always comin' out hard,
tryin' to throw down. -
3:05 - 3:09[bleep]! You can even peep
these paradoxes in the text, B. -
3:09 - 3:12My only love sprung from my only hate.
-
3:12 - 3:14My grave is like to be my wedding bed.
-
3:15 - 3:16But Willy ain't just playin'.
-
3:16 - 3:21All these clashin' opposites makin'
that dramatic action mo' intense! -
3:21 - 3:22Listen up, partna!
-
3:22 - 3:24The full title of this play is The Most Excellent...
-
3:24 - 3:27and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.
-
3:27 - 3:29'Cept, is it really a tragedy?
-
3:29 - 3:31Some homies don't think so.
-
3:31 - 3:33See in most tragedies the characters got something
-
3:33 - 3:36in their dome that's so [bleep]ed up that,
-
3:36 - 3:38no matter what, they gonna'
end up feelin' the hurt. -
3:38 - 3:41Peeps called this The Tragic Flaw.
-
3:41 - 3:44Thang is, some thugs say Romeo and Juliet
-
3:44 - 3:46ain't rollin' with no tragic flaws!
-
3:46 - 3:48It ain't their fault that [bleep] gets so cray!
-
3:48 - 3:52But what is tragic is that something
else is trippin' up their game: -
3:52 - 3:53Chance.
-
3:53 - 3:57All throughout this play, fate
doin' our lovers straight dirty. -
3:57 - 3:59Just look at all these ridiculous coincidences.
-
3:59 - 4:01That letter don't find Romeo,
-
4:01 - 4:03the Friar too late in stoppin' 'em,
-
4:04 - 4:07Juliet wakes up right after
Romeo bit the big one, -
4:07 - 4:08I could go on, playa!
-
4:09 - 4:12So when the prologue sayin'
that these kids be star crossed, -
4:12 - 4:14maybe it's cuz' the heavens
got it in for these fools. -
4:14 - 4:17But maybe it ain't fate so much as it is
-
4:17 - 4:19kids actin' like stupid little [bleep]s.
-
4:19 - 4:22Some say Romeo and Juliet's tragic flaw
-
4:22 - 4:24be a love all insane in the membrane!
-
4:24 - 4:27And they willin' to do anything to keep it real.
-
4:27 - 4:29Even Friar Laurence say
that [bleep] gonna sin. -
4:29 - 4:32These violent delights have violent ends.
-
4:32 - 4:35And in their triumph,
die like fire and powder, -
4:35 - 4:36which, as they kiss, consume.
-
4:36 - 4:39The sweetest honey is loathsome
in his own deliciousness. -
4:39 - 4:42And in the taste confounds the appetite.
-
4:42 - 4:44Therefore love moderately.
-
4:44 - 4:45Love love doth so.
-
4:45 - 4:48Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
-
4:48 - 4:50Could be they ain't sinnin' at all,
-
4:50 - 4:52but that the world that they
live in is just too twisted -
4:52 - 4:55to deal with the love as pure as theirs.
-
4:55 - 4:58Maybe it ain't our lovers that got the flaw, son.
-
4:58 - 4:59Maybe it's the world.
-
4:59 - 5:02But all scholars agree it will be a damn tragedy
