Our own high school english class did Romeo & Juliet one semester, and our immediate friend group ended up taking characters and role-playing as them in between classes and at lunch/after school for months the same way we did with Yu Gi Oh characters.

We were Benvolio. So hey– at least we lived. 😂

But yes– I think many people who instinctively engage with fiction in fandom type ways definitely engage with literature class fiction in the same way!
