Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers.

Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity. The plot is based on an Italian tale translated into verse as The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet by Arthur Brooke in 1562 and retold in prose in Palace of Pleasure by William Painter in 1567. Shakespeare borrowed heavily from both but expanded the plot by developing a number of supporting characters, particularly Mercutio and Paris. Believed to have been written between 1591 and 1595, the play was first published in a quarto version in 1597. The text of the first quarto version was of poor quality, however, and later editions corrected the text to conform more closely with Shakespeare's original.

《罗密欧与朱丽叶》是莎士比亚早期创作的一部悲剧，剧中描写蒙太古之子罗密欧和凯普莱特之女朱丽叶一见钟情，他们为了对自由爱情的追求，敢于不顾家族的世仇，敢于违抗父命，甚至以死殉情。这是莎士比亚悲剧中浪漫主义抒情色彩最浓的一部悲剧，也是一曲反对封建主义，倡导自由平等、个性解放、婚姻自主的颂歌。
