Romeo and Juliet -- Week 12

I am reading Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. This book is the most famous William Shakespeare's plays. When I was a high school student, I watched the movie which was showed in 1968. It moved me deeply and I took to this theme song. I think everyone has heard it. Although I am reading the book which is easier than the original, I will read the original in the near future.


Let's introduce a synopsis of Romeo and Juliet in brief. Romeo who is Montague's son falls in love with Juliet who is Capulet's daughter, but he finds out that it does matter. It makes all the difference in the world, because both families hate each other bitterly. For a while, Romeo and Juliet manage to keep their love secretly. But, finally, their concealed marriage drive them toward tragedy. This romantic tragedy has long captured the hearts of audience and become part of the literary heritage of all people in all nations.

I would like to enjoy reading it.
