Romeo and Juliet

Shakespeare created a bloody world in Romeo and Juliet where two young people fall in love. The Montagues and the Capulets are involved in a blood feud, thus it goes beyond the fact that their families disapprove of them.

The progression from falling in love at first sight to the lovers'' ultimate union in death seems almost natural in this environment rich with death. Yet this play, which takes place in a fantastical universe, has come to represent the classic tale of adolescent love. It is simple to react as though it applies to all young couples, in part because to the beautiful language used.
