As for the characters in Romeo and Juliet, it's difficult to compare myself to any of them because like most fictional characters, their life and personality is grossly overexaggerated for the good of entertainment. If I had to pick one, Romeo would be my choice because like him, I find myself feeling sorry for myself and whining a bit more often than I should. Also similar to Romeo, I will always have someone to calm me down and get my spirits up.
Reading at home without having to take annotations is a much more efficient process than Great Expectations. I find that I am reading on time and understanding what is there for me to read. I can read knowing that we are going to go over the material and I will have a chance to annotate after the fact. This provides a calmer reading experience and I actually enjoy reading chapters now.
Do you think this type of annotating would have made reading GE a better experience for you? Do you think it would've worked for Great Expectations?
