“Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare, translated into Bangla, is a timeless tale of forbidden love, tragic consequences, and the power of fate. Set in Verona, Italy, the story revolves around two young lovers from feuding families, the Montagues and the Capulets.
Romeo, a member of the Montague family, falls deeply in love with Juliet, a Capulet. Despite their families’ enmity, the two embark on a secret romance, aided by the trusted Friar Laurence. They exchange vows of love and plan to marry in secret, hoping their union will bring an end to the longstanding feud.
However, their happiness is short-lived as a series of unfortunate events unfolds. Romeo’s hot-headed nature leads to a fatal duel with Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, resulting in his banishment from Verona. Juliet’s parents, unaware of her love for Romeo, arrange her marriage to another suitor, Paris, causing Juliet to seek Friar Laurence’s help.
The friar devises a risky plan to reunite the lovers: Juliet will fake her own death by consuming a potion, and Romeo will be informed to retrieve her once she wakes. However, a series of miscommunications leads Romeo to believe that Juliet is truly dead, prompting him to take his own life beside her lifeless body.
Upon awakening and finding Romeo dead, Juliet, devastated, decides to join him in death. Tragically, their untimely deaths serve as a catalyst for reconciliation between their families, who realize the devastating consequences of their feud.
