One of Shakespeare’s most popular tragedies, it tells the story of two young lovers from feuding families who fall deeply in love and secretly marry, despite their families' bitter rivalry. Their passionate relationship unfolds against a backdrop of violence, misunderstandings, and fate, ultimately leading to a series of tragic events that highlight the senselessness of hatred and the enduring power of love.
