| Summary | "Roméo et Juliette" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written in the late 16th century. This iconic play tells the story of the doomed love between two young lovers, Roméo and Juliette, who come from rival families in Verona, the Montecchi and the Capuletti. Their passionate romance unfolds against a backdrop of family feuds and social tensions, ultimately leading to tragedy and loss. The opening of "Roméo et Juliette" introduces the long-standing animosity between the Montecchi and Capuletti families in Verona, which sparks a violent street brawl. It also establishes the character of Roméo, who is infatuated with Rosaline but is soon captivated by Juliette at a masquerade ball. Their initial interactions are marked by playful banter and poetic exchanges that highlight the young lovers' innocence and desire. The scene concludes with Roméo learning that Juliette, his newfound love, belongs to the family that his family is feuding with, setting the stage for the tragic events that follow.
