Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
"Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written between 1591 and 1595. Set in Verona, Italy, it tells the story of two young lovers from feuding families—the Montagues and Capulets. Their secret romance unfolds against a backdrop of street brawls, family honor, and bitter hatred. With the help of Friar Laurence, they attempt to overcome the violence dividing their families. The play explores themes of love, fate, and the devastating
consequences of ancient grudges through Shakespeare's masterful poetic language and dramatic structure. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
