Description
“For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”
In the sun-drenched streets of Verona, two noble families—the Montagues and the Capulets—are locked in a blood-soaked, ancient feud. But when Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet lock eyes at a masquerade ball, the world of hatred fades away, replaced by an all-consuming, forbidden passion.
Defying the expectations of their kin and the violence of their city, the "star-crossed" lovers embark on a secret journey of devotion that challenges the very foundations of their society. From the iconic moonlit balcony to the final, heart-shattering moments in the Capulet tomb, Shakespeare’s masterpiece explores the intense collision between youthful idealism and the rigid structures of the adult world.
This definitive digital edition brings the world’s most famous tragedy to life, capturing every bit of the wit, poetic brilliance, and raw emotion that has made this play a cornerstone of Western literature for over 400 years.
