Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, is one of the most iconic tragedies in world literature. Set in the Italian city of Verona, the play tells the story of a passionate and forbidden love between two young individuals from feuding families—the Montagues and the Capulets. Through a plot driven by desire, conflict, and fate, Shakespeare explores themes of youth, impulsiveness, and the devastating consequences of inherited hatred. Since its debut in the 16th century, Romeo and Juliet has moved generations with the poetic beauty of its language, the emotional depth of its characters, and its heartbreaking conclusion. The play has been adapted countless times—in theatre, film, music, and dance—and remains a cultural symbol of romantic love taken to its tragic extreme. The enduring relevance of Romeo and Juliet lies in its portrayal of love's intensity and human vulnerability, as well as its critique of societal divisions that destroy what should unite. Its message about the fragility of life and the urgency of love continues to resonate powerfully across time and cultures.
