Summary "Romeo ja Julia" by William Shakespeare is a classic play written in the late 16th century. The play revolves around the tragic love story of two young lovers, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, whose families are embroiled in a bitter feud. The tale explores themes of love, fate, and the conflict between personal desires and social obligations, drawing readers into the anguish and passion of forbidden love. At the start of the play, the feud between the Montagues and Capulets is established through a street brawl instigated by their servants. The Prince of Verona intervenes to quell the violence, warning both families of dire consequences if they continue their conflict. We also meet Romeo, who is heartbroken over his unrequited love for Rosaline. However, his spirits are lifted when he learns of a grand Capulet feast, where he ultimately meets Juliet. Their instant attraction sets the stage for the unfolding drama, as they soon discover that their love is forbidden due to the animosity between their families. The opening portion intricately sets the tone for the tragic events that will follow, establishing both the characters and the societal pressures that will challenge their love.
