Romeo and Juliet

About this book

William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a timeless tale of reckless, incandescent love set against the simmering hostility of rival households in Renaissance Verona. With some of the most luminous poetry in the English language, the play traces how two young people’s fierce desire for connection collides with social expectations, pride, and a world that seems arranged against them. Bursting with wit, music, street brawls, and heartbreaking moral urgency, it explores how passion, fate, and the impulsive choices of youth can reshape lives — asking whether love can ever overcome entrenched divides. Read it for the language, the heat, and the aching questions it raises.
