the book is taken into account. In Romeo And Juliet's first chapter we find Shakespeare at his most ill-conceived. But even this section can still prove fertile to the Canadian reader. Consider: "Yearning pervaded the camp." (Shakespeare 87) Truer words have never been uttered, at least not by me. Of course, like all great works, Romeo And Juliet has its flaws! Read as non-fiction, Romeo And Juliet supports no other analysis; parts of the book's closing scene are often cited as evidence. Shakespeare's expatriot sympathies are evident in Romeo And Juliet.
