Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. It was most likely finished in 1595. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers. The story belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity. It has been produced on stage countless times, as a number of movies, and has been the inspiration for ballets, songs, and even the musical West Side Story.
