About this Quiz
Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is one of the most iconic plays in the world of literature. It tells the tragic story of two young lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. The play has been widely studied and interpreted throughout the years, and it has also been adapted into various forms of media, including film, theatre, and even music. The reception of Romeo and Juliet has varied over time. Initially, the play received mixed reviews from critics, but it has since become one of Shakespeare's most popular works. Various adaptations of the play have also received differing responses, with some being critically acclaimed and others being box office flops. The first known version of Romeo and Juliet was published by John Danter in 1597, but the play was likely performed for the first time in 1595. Over the years, many critics have shared their views on the play. For instance, Samuel Johnson called Romeo and Juliet 'Shakespeare's first original tragedy' and praised it for its 'beautiful, sonorous, and for the most part, natural poetry'. However, other critics like T.S. Eliot have been less positive, with Eliot calling Romeo and Juliet 'not one of Shakespeare's most successful plays'. Despite these differing opinions, Romeo and Juliet continues to be a beloved piece of literature that is studied and enjoyed by people all around the world.
