Page 2 of 42
Romeo and Juliet (1595) is a tragedy, written
early in the career of William Shakespeare, about
two young “star-cross‘d lovers” whose deaths
ultimately unite their feuding families.
It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays
during his lifetime and, along with Hamlet and
Macbeth, is one of his most frequently performed
plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as
archetypal young lovers.
