A Vérone, où les Montaigu et les Capulet se vouent une haine ancestrale, Roméo, fils de Montaigu, est amoureux de Rosaline, tandis que Capulet s’apprête à donner une grande fête pour permettre à Juliette, sa fille, de rencontrer le comte Pâris qui l’a demandée en mariage. Parce qu’il croit que Rosaline s’y trouvera, Roméo se rend au bal – et pour Juliette éprouve un coup de foudre aussitôt réciproque. Sous le balcon de la jeune fille, il lui déclare le soir même son amour puis, le lendemain, prie frère Laurent de les marier et de réconcilier leurs familles ennemies. Mais voici que, sur une place de Vérone, Tybalt, cousin de Juliette, provoque Roméo qui refuse de se battre. Mercutio, son ami, dégaine à sa place, mais lorsque Roméo voit Mercutio mortellement frappé par Tybalt, il décide de le venger : Tybalt tombe à son tour, et ce qui était une comédie vire à la tragédie.
Si, dans cette pièce que Shakespeare compose vers 1595, les amants de Vérone sont ainsi promis au tragique, c’est que le destin leur est hostile. Star-crossed lovers, Roméo et Juliette sont seulement nés sous une mauvaise étoile : ils ne sont victimes ni d’une faute ni de leur amour, mais d’une suite de circonstances malheureuses qui mettront à mort cet amour – et feront de leur histoire, pour plusieurs siècles, un mythe.

Work Description

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young Italian 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.

Excerpts

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
added by Lisa. "first sentence"
