Romeo Juliet - A tragedy that still breathes

Few works of literature have captured the ache of young love and the cruelty of fate as powerfully as Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Though written centuries ago, the play still feels alive, echoing with raw emotion each time I return to its pages.

What strikes me most is not just the story of two star-crossed lovers, but the way Shakespeare distills the intensity of youth—the recklessness, the purity of passion, and the belief that love can defy every boundary. Romeo and Juliet speak in poetry, but their feelings are painfully human. Every whispered vow, every hurried decision carries the weight of truth.

Yet, at its heart, this play is more than a love story. It is a meditation on society, on the destructive force of hatred, and on how innocence is often the first casualty of pride. The feud between the Montagues and Capulets is not just a backdrop—it is the very shadow that swallows light.

And still, despite its tragic end, Romeo and Juliet lingers with beauty. The language sings. The metaphors bloom like roses. Even in sorrow, Shakespeare reminds us that love—brief, forbidden, doomed—is still worth remembering.

Reading it feels like standing at the edge of a candle’s flame: warm, bright, yet fleeting. Perhaps that is why this tragedy endures—not because Romeo and Juliet die, but because in their short lives, they loved so completely.
