Italian cities were infamous for their long-lasting, deadly feuds between prominent families. Elizabeth, like most absolute monarchs, abhorred dueling and feuding and tried to suppress it. Shakespeare"s play is in part his contribution to her just say no campaign against such conflicts.
The introduction focuses primarily on comparisons with West Side Story, so it has relatively little to say about the play as such. As noted, this is often regarded as a lesser Shakespeare tragedy by scholars, but what should also be kept in mind is that audiences have made it one of the most beloved plays of all time from the Elizabethan Age to the present.
Romeo and Juliet are often considered the archetypal lovers, and at one time a romeo--meaning a lover--was a common noun. Several operas and ballets have been based on the story. The play also contains some of Shakespeare"s most-quoted lines, and some of the most beautiful.
