[edit] maidenheands
Might one consider adding annotations, especially for archaic and out of use phrases that the average reader may not be familiar with. I.E. "maidenheands"?
- Feel free to wikify such terms with an interwiki link to wikipedia or Wiktionary. You might want to read Wikisource:Annotations--BirgitteSB 19:39, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
I think maidenheands itself is flawed. The correct word should be maidenheads. I found other errors in the text. —unsigned comment by 76.93.14.150 (talk) 13:23, 10 June 2008.
[edit] line numbers
Would it be helpful to add line numbers to the play to make it more "quotable" for school/college students. How shall we align them properly. —unsigned comment by 71.174.243.179 (talk) .
[edit] Romance? Tragedy?
I think this text should be under the "Tragedy" section, rather than romance. I mean, that's what Shakespeare originally intended for it to be. It even has Tragedy in the title.
- I think both are applicable; even the Wikipedia article says "Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances..." EVula // talk // ☯ // 01:07, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Character's names etc.
Where does this version come from? I have checked Q1, Q2 and F1, none of them have a list of characters, this may be a legitimate addition. However they refer to "old Capulet and his wife" and "old Mountague and his wife", the names "Lady Capulet" and "Lady Montague" appear to be later inventions. (So I believe is "Lady Macduff".)
