Romeo and Juliet《罗密欧与朱丽叶》是莎士比亚早期的一部爱情悲剧，写于1579年。本剧通过波澜起伏的戏剧冲突，描绘了一场惊天地泣鬼神的爱情悲剧。男女主人公罗密欧与朱丽叶一见钟情，但因出生于两个世代为仇的封建家族而根本不可能结合，后双双殉情而死。此剧虽属悲剧，但整个作品又与莎士比亚同时期的喜剧精神相通，人物形象鲜明生动，情节既单纯又曲折。

罗密欧和朱丽叶是两个世仇家族的继承人，二人于舞会一见钟情后，才知道对方身份，后来二人为了在一起，朱丽叶先服假毒装死，醒来发现罗密欧却因不明真相而殉情，结果也相继自尽。故事结束在阴差阳错，令人扼腕顿足。

In a society dominated by religion and bound by ties of strict family loyalty, two teenagers are trapped by their secret love. As a dangerous vendetta spills onto the streets, the young lovers are forced to risk all to be together in Shakespeare’s fast-paced tragedy of thwarted love.
