Pop Musical, & Juliet, Gives A Happy Ending to A Traditionally Tragic Tale
Austin Price, Editor in Chief
The Shakespeare classic, Romeo & Juliet, has long been heralded as a great love story. It spins a tale of star-crossed lovers, separated by the complicated politics of their families. As we all know, this angsty teen drama ends in the death of both lovers, showing an end to a youthful obsession with the idea of true love. Shakespeare often gave his protagonists a martyr like mentality, making his heroes the saviors of the stories, even when no one needed to be saved. Romeo & Juliet is a prime example of this narcissistic narrative, as both characters are crowned with an idea of selflessness, each willing to give their life for the other, and each willing to receive death with open arms. Despite this traditionally tragic tale of excessive commitment and complex hormones, Max Martin and Tim Headington brought reality to the classic story, accompanied by an iconic soundtrack, and embracing the diversity of “true love”.
The Rush of A Concert
Juliet Buckley, Staff Writer and Social Media Contributor
As an eighteen-year-old girl when I look back and reflect on my life, I find music in every single area and memory. I believe that I have adored music since I came out of the womb. There have been so many times where I cannot recall a memory until I hear a song that I liked around the time of the memory. Because of this, I have made it my mission to attend as many concerts as possible.
