One of the most well known classic love stories in history, Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare and the modern film remake made by Baz Luhrmann tells the story of two young lovers who, because of the everlasting rivalry between their two families can’t express their love sufficiently for it to be known. The story consists among the constant struggles Romeo and Juliet have with family friends and eachother.
The play upholds the feeling of love only through barriers and that ludicrous actions are made just for their young love to still be had.
