William Shakespeare wrote his famous tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" in 1594. Before and after him many authors have also created such love stories. The most famous of them - novel written by MasuccioSalernitano and the story created by Luigi Da Porto.

Conclusion 1: there are other writers used the same love plot.

Many years ago in the city of Verona, the Montague and Capulet families were enemies. Romeo, son of Montague, loved Juliet, the daughter of Capulet. Juliet loved him too. Monk Lorenzo married lovers.

Tybalt (Capulet) killed Romeo’s friend. Romeo killed Tybalt. Romeo had to leave Verona.

Juliet's parents decided to marry her to Paris. Monk Lorenzo gave to Juliet a special potion to avoid marriage. Juliet was alive, but she fell asleep and looked like the dead.

Romeo heard of the death of Juliet. He drank the poison. Juliet woke up and saw the dead Romeo. She could not live without him. Young lovers have died because of the war of their families.

Две равно уважаемых семьиВ Вероне, где встречают нас событья,

Ведут междоусобные боиИ не хотят унять кровопролитья.Друг друга любят дети главарей,

Но им судьба подстраивает козни,И гибель их у гробовых дверей

Кладёт конец непримиримой розни.

Когда ж, о горе! – стал он недвижим,

Она, бледней, чем саван, прошептала:

«Позволь, Господь, и мне идти за ним;

Нет просьб иных, и я прошу так мало –

Позволь быть там, где тот, кто мной

любим!»

И тут же скорбь ей сердце разорвала».

Action of the tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" is in Verona.

I want to take you on a small journey through this ancient Italian city.

VERONA – CITY OF LOVE

VERONA – CITY OF LOVE

In modern Verona there are carefully preserved places, which reminiscent of the history of Shakespeare’ s lovers. Among the medieval buildings identified two buildings, probably belonged to the 13th century by the famous Veronese families Montikoli(Montague) and Dal Cappello (Capulet). In Via Arche Scaligere there is an ancient palace, which is considered among the people as the House of Romeo - "Casa diRomeo".

VERONA – CITY OF LOVE

Juliet's house is at number 23 on Via Cappello. Above the arch in the yard of the palace you can see a small ancient marble statue in the form of a hat - coat of arms of DalCappello (Cappello - hat, in Italian). Each year, on September 16, the palace celebrates the birthday of Juliet, and on Valentine's Day here are welcomed and rewarded those whose letters to the heroine were the most beautiful.

VERONA – CITY OF LOVE

In contrast to the surrounding area of Juliet's house which is always noisy and crowded, the place where there is crypt with the tomb of Juliet (Tomba di Giulietta) is quite and peaceful. This is the subject of worship of romantics. Overgrown greenery alley - pergola - leads to few preserved buildings of the ancient monastery.

VERONA – CITY OF LOVE

From the picturesque church yard steps lead into the gloom of the underground space. Strengthened over the entrance sign with the words of Shakespeare: «A grave? O, no, a lanthorn, slaught'red youth, for here lies Juliet, and her beauty makes this vault a feasting presence full of light.» (В могиле? Нет, в чертоге лучезарном. О юноша, ведь здесь лежит Джульетта, и эти своды красота ее в блестящий тронный зал преображает). It is customary to leave flowers and letters for heroes.
