These Violent Delights: a stylized, dark, and reimagined story that holds true to many aspects of the original story

~ Grace ~ Leave a comment

I am a huge fan of Romeo and Juliet. I am completely aware of all of its issues, but I still find it dramatic in a great way and it has some iconic lines. "Do you bite your thumb at me, sir?"
