Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

"Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written between 1591 and 1595. Two young lovers from feuding Italian families fall passionately for each other in Verona, defying the bitter hatred between the Montagues and Capulets. Their secret marriage, orchestrated with the help of Friar Laurence, becomes entangled in violence, misunderstanding, and fate. As tensions escalate and blood is shed, the young couple faces impossible choices that will test the boundaries of love and loyalty in this archetypal tale of star-crossed romance.
