A fantastic narrative torn from literary sources and filled out with insights into people's thoughts, feelings, and behavior gleaned from Shakespeare's own observations. Romeo and Juliet is a fantastically well-written, felt, and structured drama. This is most likely Shakespeare's first play in which everything comes together properly. There are no awkward pauses or uninteresting scenes; instead, we are given a continuous flow of action and emotion. Romeo and Juliet is full of dramatic irony. This means that we can tell what happens to Romeo and Juliet even though they die at the end of the story. We know that they will be remembered forever because their deaths serve as a warning to others. But they also survive physically because it would have been impossible for them to die at such a young age. Their love story is told across two acts. In the first act, Romeo meets Juliet at a feast where many other couples are also dancing. They like each other at first sight and fall in love instantly. However, they come from opposing families and thus cannot marry. When one of the relatives finds out about their love, they issue a death sentence on both Romeo and Juliet. In the second act, they escape from their families and go to live in France where Romeo believes that they will be safe from persecution. However, soon after their arrival, war breaks out between France and Italy. During this time, Romeo fights in several battles but never kills anyone.
