The problem with the question is that it ASSUMES that "Romeo and Juliet" is Shakespeare's "best loved" and that it is his most-often produced. The latter might be true, but I'd dispute the former.

I think it would be more accurate to say that it is probably the FIRST Shakespearean play that most people encounter. Even though there are a number of better and more compelling plays in the canon, a lot of English teachers insist on exposing students to "R & J." Why? Probably because it's the first one THEY read, so they're just perpetuating the cycle.

I know that none of that is useful for your assignment. Try this: it's a play that features a pair of young lovers who encounter serious impediiments to their relationship; in this regard, it's a play that young people (especially) feel that they can "relate" to.

Because it is a comedy (first three acts) and a tragedy (act four and five)
