Summary
William Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet
The love of Romeo and Juliet is a great, real, romantic love that knows no boundaries or compromises, too great not to be tragic. The ideal and the real, in man and the world, go their separate ways here, only to inevitably collide in the end. Shakespeare makes it clear that ideals may not be up to the standard of this world, but a world without them is worthless. In order to be able to continue loving each other, Romeo and Juliet must die, and their permanently quarreling families only offer a hand of reconciliation over the dead bodies of their children.
