ROMEO AND JULIET is one of the most famous works by William Shakespeare. An ancient feud between two houses, the origin of which seems to be known by no one anymore. The bloodshed has already cost too many victims and manifests the enemy image of the rivals. In between stand two young people trying to defy all of this with their love. At a feast in the Capulet house, Romeo, from the enemy Montagues, meets Juliet. They fall in love instantly, and a secret wedding follows. In the struggle of the two houses, Romeo kills Tybalt, Juliet's cousin, and is banished from Verona. Meanwhile, the Capulets insist on the marriage between Juliet and Count Paris. To avoid the marriage, Juliet takes a potion that puts her in a death-like sleep for days. Romeo arrives too late. Lying before him, Juliet appears dead, and out of despair, he drinks poison, unaware of her plan. When she awakens shortly afterward and sees the dead Romeo, she stabs herself with his dagger out of misfortune. The attempt to live true love could not end more tragically. The families reconcile at the graves of the two unfortunate ones.
The unconditional willingness of Romeo and Juliet to sacrifice everything for love and for each other, as well as declaring their love as the sole priority of their lives, is the endeavor in which they fail – against the constraints of social convention, against the fear of obeying only their hearts and the voice of freedom. And so this great love, which despite all the tragedy is stronger than violence, is a symbol of hope.
