Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

Description

Romeo and Juliet is a play by William Shakespeare, first performed around 1597. It remains one of the most enduring tales of youthful devotion and bitter rivalry, tracing the fate of two young lovers divided by a long-standing feud between the houses of Montague and Capulet. The story unfolds in Verona, a city driven by honour, conflict, and tradition, where even small disputes quickly grow into dangerous confrontations. At its heart, the play follows Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet as they meet in secret, fall deeply in love, and try to carve out a future that defies the expectations of their families. Shakespeare draws out the intensity of their emotions against a backdrop of strict social structures, long-held grudges, and impulsive decisions that shift the course of the story. The faithfulness they show one another and the risks they take create a powerful contrast to the stubborn hostility surrounding them. Alongside the central romance, the play offers memorable encounters with characters such as Mercutio, Friar Laurence, Tybalt, and the Nurse — each adding humour, tension, or moral caution. Their actions help drive events towards the tragedy that has resonated for centuries. Shakespeare’s language, rich with poetry and wit, gives the work its lasting influence, shaping how love stories have been told ever since.
