From the backcover

The greatest love story ever told, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is of tragedy set in Verona, Italy. Romeo and Juliet is a classic example of an undying love becoming a victim of family feuds. At a masquerade when Romeo, the son of Montauge, sees Juliet, the daughter of a Capulet, he instantly falls for her. A profoound attraction betweeen them grows into an intense and passionate love and they are convetouly married by Friar Laurence. Chafed between social coventions, reponsibilities, and personal desires, they are led to tragic denounement. A tale of unstinted love and hatred, consuming desire and disgust, revenge anf forgiveness, courtship and marriage, Romeo and Juliet continues to exeplify love.
