Why did shakespeare wrote romeo and Juliet?
He thought it was a good story. Shakespeare almost always took the theme of his plays from a previous writer or from history. Romeo and Juliet, in the mixed up minds of their youth, thought they were in love. The families were trapped in a circle of hate. Each family was, in their vanity, certain that it was better than the other. In this age, in Verona, it was normal to be subjected to interfering families and this often led to violence and, occasionally, as in this story, to tragic death. And next time, do your own homework.
