    Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by famous playwright William Shakespeare (1564-1616). This means that although there are some comedic moments in the play, it ultimately has a very sad ending. The play features two feuding families: the Montagues and the Capulets. The reasons for the feud are never clearly explained, but the animosity between the families has tangible effects on the characters. Many of the most salient Romeo and Julietfacts are actually laid out in the play's prologue, preparing the audience for what they are about to witness. After explaining that the play deals with warring families and that it is set in Verona, Italy, the prologue warns that:

    ''From forth the fatal loins of these two foesA pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;Whose misadventured piteous overthrowsDo with their death bury their parents' strife'' (Act I, Prologue)

    They escape to a faraway land together.
