Romeo & Juliet The world of literature is full of many well-written marvels. All of Shakespeare’s plays are in the category, of wonderful pieces of writing that, in my opinion, have no equal. What makes his writings great are the abundance of great characters. Shakespeare’s, Romeo and Juliet is a wonderful example of these great characters; although they contrast in several ways.
