Romeo und Julia
Translated by August Wilhelm von Schlegel
"Romeo und Julia" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written between 1591 and 1595 about the romance between two young Italians from feuding families. Set in Verona, the play follows the star-crossed lovers as their secret passion unfolds against a backdrop of family hatred and violence. Their forbidden relationship sets off a chain of events involving duels, banishment, and desperate schemes. Shakespeare transformed an existing Italian tale into one of literature's most enduring stories of love and fate, creating archetypal young lovers whose names remain synonymous with tragic romance.
