Romeo and Juliet

Rebound by Laura Kipnis
William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is arguably the most famous portrait of romantic love in the West. This play about love, passion and social strictures has influenced countless works of literature, film, and music, making it an essential part of our cultural history.

From beginning to bitter end, the story offers readers humor, wordplay and delightful encounters with some of the most iconic lines ever written in the English language. Experience the intense passion and tragedy of this play through a fresh, provocative lens—brought to life by the brilliant insight of acclaimed author Laura Kipnis.

Laura Kipnis has written thoughtfully, humorously and critically about love. Her Against Love is celebrated as one of the best examples of American non-fiction writing in the past decade. In this Rebind of Romeo and Juliet, Kipnis guides us through the treatment of love in the play and how it might relate to our lives today. See Shakespeare’s classic open up in ways you haven’t before with Laura Kipnis, only on Rebind.

SNEAK PEEK

Here are some questions Kipnis will invite you to ponder while reading Romeo and Juliet:
  • Love at first sight vs. arranged marriage: Romeo and Juliet meet at a masked ball and fall instantly in love. How different is their passionate connection from the calculated matchmaking of their time? Are modern relationships really so different from arranged marriages?
  • Now that we've finished the play, let's revisit the classic idea of Romeo and Juliet as *star-crossed* lovers. What do you think of their fates? And what about Shakespeare's idea of a tragic fate? Do you think your own future is fated?

Even these days with all our supposed freedoms, our desires often still pit us against social conventions and strictures. That is, of course, a major theme in Romeo and Juliet.”

I am suddenly seeing what I was missing, marveling at the explosive possibility of interacting in these discussions. I didn't realize how organic the interactions can be. I only had to make one comment, read the response and then follow up, and all of a sudden I was learning unexpected things.

I've been reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra on Rebind, and it's magical. It's suddenly difficult to imagine reading without having this ongoing discussion where I can ask a hundred questions.

There are a collection of books that are a little intimidating because I never approached them or spent time with them. Having this guided experienced with great context through video and an AI personality to chat with really helps with that.

I felt like this was the best parts of a literature course, where you get the knowledge of someone who has really studied the text without the drain of having to write a paper at the end. For me, this is really kind of perfect.

Rebind’s use of AI to honor and preserve classic literature —and facilitate our appreciation of reading these quintessential texts with personalized analysis—seems like a worthwhile exploration.
