About This Novel
Montague's son Romeo and Capulet's daughter Juliet fell in love at first sight. They recognized each other in a novel and touching dialogue, discovered themselves, and developed a passionate love. However, they could not get married due to family feud. As a famous love tragedy in the history of literature, "Romeo and Juliet" shows the ultimate love and pain, explores the opposition between love and husband's power, individual and social structure, and demonstrates a strong humanistic color. Its passionate language and magnificent imagination deepen the aesthetic connotation, making the play still glow with enduring romantic vitality a hundred years later. The introduction and annotations of this book are compiled by Professor Jill Levenson, Honorary Vice President of the International Shakespeare Society. It analyzes this Shakespeare classic love tragedy from multiple perspectives such as the mythological origin of the story, the violence in patriarchal society, the use of word games and rhetorical techniques, and the history of script performance.
