Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is one of the most iconic tragedies in world literature, a timeless tale of love, fate, and conflict. First performed in the late 16th century, it remains one of Shakespeare’s most popular and frequently staged plays, embodying the enduring power of romantic passion against the backdrop of family rivalry.
Set in Verona, Italy, the play tells the story of Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, two young lovers whose families are embroiled in a bitter feud. Despite the hatred surrounding them, Romeo and Juliet are drawn together by an intense and uncompromising love, leading them to defy social expectations and family loyalties.
The tragedy unfolds through poetic dialogue, lyrical imagery, and unforgettable scenes that highlight themes of youth, impulsiveness, destiny, and sacrifice. Shakespeare masterfully weaves together romance and violence, creating a drama that resonates with readers and audiences across generations.
More than four centuries later, Romeo and Juliet continues to inspire adaptations in theatre, film, music, and art. It is not only a story of star-crossed lovers, but also a profound reflection on the power of love, the destructiveness of hate, and the fragility of human life.
