Romeo and Juliet
Although Romeo and Juliet is based on the long-standing hatred between two families, it is a tale of star-crossed lovers that is perhaps the greatest tragic love story in English literature. In their heedless passion for each other, Romeo and Juliet defy the rules of their world to be together. The Capulets and Montagues, warring families of Verona, are ultimately united by Romeo and Juliets doomed relationship. A classic story that has since seen many modern interpretations.

Grades 6-8.
