| Summary | "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare is a tragic play written during the late 16th century. This timeless story revolves around the intense and ill-fated love between two young lovers, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, set against the backdrop of their families’ bitter feud. As their relationship unfolds, themes of love, fate, and family loyalty tragically collide, leading to devastating consequences. The opening of "Romeo and Juliet" introduces us to the longstanding feud between the Montagues and Capulets through a street brawl instigated by their servants. It establishes a tense atmosphere in Verona, where the Prince threatens dire consequences for further disturbances. Amidst this violence, we meet Romeo, who is lovesick over another woman, Rosaline. However, upon his first encounter with Juliet at the Capulet's feast, where he sneaks in disguised, the intensity of their attraction sets the stage for the chaos that follows. The encounter concludes with an immediate connection, but their families' enmity complicates their burgeoning romance, a situation foreshadowed with an ominous sense of fate.
