“Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare is one of the most iconic romantic tragedies in world literature. The play tells the story of a passionate and forbidden love between two young lovers from feuding families in the city of Verona—a love that ultimately ends in tragedy due to hatred, misunderstanding, and fate. With poetic language and emotional intensity, Shakespeare masterfully portrays the conflict between love and hate, youth and death, fate and free will. Romeo and Juliet is not only a tale of doomed romance but also a timeless reflection on the destructive power of senseless enmity.
