My favorite Shakespeare story hands down is Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare's classic tale of romance and tragedy. Two families of Verona, the Montagues and the Capulets, have been feuding with each other for years. Young Romeo Montague goes out with his friends to make trouble at a party the Capulets are hosting, but while there he spies the Capulet's daughter Juliet, and falls hopelessly in love with her. She returns his affections, but they both know that their families will never allow them to follow their hearts.
In 1968 Franco Zeffirelli directed the movie "Romeo and Juliet". What a fantastic movie! I remember I saw it with Mom and I was 16 years old. When I started sobbing, I remember her patting me on my knee and saying "It's only a movie, Carol". True, but it was a lovely wonderful movie.
