Summary "Romeo und Juliette" by William Shakespeare is a tragic play written during the late 16th century. The narrative revolves around the ill-fated love affair between Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, two teenagers whose families are embroiled in a bitter feud that ultimately leads to devastating consequences. At the start of the play, we witness a street brawl in Verona between the servants of the rival families, the Montagues and Capulets, highlighting the deep-seated animosity between them. This conflict is quickly interrupted by the Prince of Verona, who decrees that further disturbances will be met with severe punishment. Amidst the chaos, we are introduced to Romeo, who is heartbroken over his unrequited love for Rosaline, another member of the Montague family. His friend Benvolio tries to cheer him up and encourages him to forget Rosaline. As the first act unfolds, Romeo learns of a Capulet feast and resolves to attend, which sets the stage for his fateful meeting with Juliet, marking the beginning of their tragic love story.
