Position:Home>Arts & Humanities> Was Romeo and Juliet...?Question: Was Romeo and Juliet...?Real? Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Yes but this was not "Shakespeare in Love". Romeo and Juliet was in fact based on the life of two real lovers who both died for each other and lived in Verona, Italy in 1303. Both the Capulets and Montagues existed in Verona at this time and Shakespeare is reckoned to have discovered this tragic love story in Arthur Brooke's 1562 poem entitled "The Tragical Historye of Romeus and Juliet" |
