Letters to Juliet A Project of Love for theLovelorn One of my preferred things that has been circumventing the web for quite a while is the EMO individual who posted, What if hes your Romeo, yet youre not his Juliet? The extremely quick reaction was, That implies youre his Rosaline and you endure the god forsaken play. Notwithstanding the truth of what befalls the star crossd darlings, the industriousness in considering them the sentimental perfect lives on. Isn't it obvious? A great many people, even the individuals who have never perused or seen the play, are bound to evoke this picture, or something near it, than grisly passings: I didnt know, nonetheless, until I heard a story on NPRs Morning Edition yesterday, that men (for the most part, I surmise) have been writing letters to Juliet forâ centuries.â Initially, soon after the plays exhibitions, individuals left notes at what was believed to be her burial chamber. The quantities of letters left turned out to be incredible to the point that the mail station of Verona set up an extraordinary office to deal with the volume.â The noteworthy thing about the letters left for Juliet is that she really answers. Well, understudies for Juliet do. Dozens of volunteers in Verona, who consider themselves The Juliet Club answer, by hand, every one of the 6,000+ letters routed to Shakespeares champion every year.  All of the letters are held in a huge chronicle, to which more letters are consistently included.

In the event that it was valid, at that point, why wouldnt it be genuine at this point? You need just the fearlessness to follow your heart. I dont comprehend what an affection like Juliets feels like love to leave friends and family for, adoration to cross seas for however Id like to accept in the event that I ever were to feel it, that I will have the fortitude to hold onto it. What's more, Claire, on the off chance that you didnt, I trust one day that you will. All my adoration, Juliet† You can peruse increasingly about the long history of the Juliet Project in Lise Friedmans study,  Letters to Juliet: Celebrating Shakespeares Greatest Heroine, the Magical City of Verona, and the Power of Love
