    - More about Romeo & Juliet -
    Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written early in the career of William Shakespeare about forbidden love between two young people from enemy families. It remains one of Shakespeare's most popular plays, along with Hamlet.
    Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity. Its plot is based on an Italian tale, translated into verse as The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet by Arthur Brooke in 1562, retold in prose in Palace of Pleasure by William Painter in 1567. Shakespeare borrowed heavily from both but, to expand the plot, developed supporting characters, particularly Mercutio and Paris. Believed to have been written between 1591 and 1595, this play was first published in a quarto version in 1597.
    Shakespeare's use of dramatic structure, especially effects such as switching between comedy and tragedy to heighten tension, his expansion of minor characters, and his use of sub-plots to embellish the story, has been praised as a sign of his dramatic skill. The play ascribes different poetic forms to different characters, sometimes changing the form as the character develops. Romeo, for example, grows more adept at the sonnet over the course of the play.
    Romeo and Juliet has been adapted numerous times for stage, film, musical and opera.

    One of the most classic Books of Shakespeare I have read since i was Young!
    In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare creates a world of violence and generational conflict in which two young people fall in love and die because of that love. The story is rather extraordinary in that the normal problems faced by young lovers are here so very large. It is not simply that the families of Romeo and Juliet disapprove of the lover's affection for each other; rather, the Montagues and the Capulets are on opposite sides in a blood feud and are trying to kill each other on the streets of Verona. Every time a member of one of the two families dies in the fight, his relatives demand the blood of his killer. Because of the feud, if Romeo is discovered with Juliet by her family, he will be killed. Once Romeo is banished, the only way that Juliet can avoid being married to someone else is to take a potion that apparently kills her, so that she is burried with the bodies of her slain relatives. In this violent, death-filled world, the movement of the story from love at first sight to the union of the lovers in death seems almost inevitable.
    What is so striking about this play is that despite its extraordinary setting (one perhaps reflecting Elizabethan attitudes about hot-blooded Italians), it has become the quintessential story of young love. Because most young lovers feel that they have to overcome giant obstacles in order to be together, because they feel that they would rather die than be kept apart, and especially because the language Shakespeare gives his young lovers is so exquisite, allowing them to say to each other just what we would all say to a lover if we only knew how, it is easy to respond to this play as if it were about all young lovers rather than about a particular couple in a very unusual world. (When the play was rewritten in the eighteen century as The History and Fall of Caius Marius, the violent setting became that of a particularly discordant period in classical Rome; when Leonard Berstein rewrote the play as West Side Story, he chose the violent world of New York street gangs.)

    It's nice to see that some students are using the audio version to assist them with the reading of the play. My students will be using this as a supplement to the reading because they need to have another medium to compare and contrast. They will also watch clips of the movie version. So, to the students that are using this as the only means to get the "job" done, you are doing yourself a great disservice. Enjoy!

    Such an elegantly eloquent romantic novelist tragedy. A metaphor for the heartbreak, loss of heart, insipid fear, oppressivness, depressing disappointing reality we all suffer through. An anathema, a travesty compared to what we could be with more consciousness, autonomy, more accessible memory, healthy emotions, fulfilling experiences with hearts alive in love. And an imagination that reaches to the stars

    Dearest Ash, it is wonderful to encounter someone with a lively interest in the Bard, so I welcome your comments about my comment, if I may be permitted a redundancy! I believe that our heroine is nearly fifteen, so it is true that she has not met a great many people as yet. I can find no reason to believe that she has few friends, tho. We see but a glimpse of her life in the play. As for Romeo, when he spies Juliet for the first time, he is utterly smitten with her, having not seen "true beauty" until that night. She does, after all, "teach the torches to burn bright." Hence, all others are forgotten!
