About this listen

Unique to this collection is:

  • An overview of the tragedy Romeo and Juliet
  • A study of the themes present in the tragedy Romeo and Juliet
  • A list of the best famous quotes from the tragedy Romeo and Juliet

You may, of course, skip all of it and go straight to the main title if you do not want any spoilers and come back later to the beginning.

Shakespeare writes about the plight of Romeo and Juliet with a lot of empathy and views their tragedy as a result of bad fate, rather than a problem with their characters. We sense from the very start that their relationship is doomed.

Romeo and Juliet are portrayed as sincere and virtuous young people who are madly in love, but because of the feud between their families, their relationship has to end. As they won't even consider a separation, the only way out of the situation they find themselves in is by taking their own lives.

What makes this story so sad is that romantic love ends so grimly for a very stupid reason. And the tender age and the innocence of the young lovers make their fate even more tragic.

Enjoy this timeless classic!
