| Summary | "Romeo und Julia" by William Shakespeare is a classic play written in the late 16th century that embodies the themes of love and familial conflict. The story revolves around the tragic romance between Romeo Montague and Julia Capulet, two young lovers from rival families in Verona, whose relationship becomes a catalyst for inevitable tragedy as they navigate the bitter feud that divides their households. At the start of the play, the Chorus introduces the long-standing animosity between the Montagues and the Capulets, foreshadowing the disastrous consequences of their feud. The first scenes depict an altercation between servants of the two houses, illustrating the extent of the conflict. As Romeo, who is lost in his unrequited love for Rosaline, encounters his friend Benvolio, their conversation hints at deeper feelings and the turmoil that accompanies love. The scene shifts to the Capulet household, where Julia is introduced, alongside her mother and the Nurse, as they discuss her potential marriage to Paris. The ensuing events lead Romeo and Julia to meet at a masked ball, where they fall instantly in love, setting the stage for the forthcoming tragedy sparked by their families' enmity.
