英语词汇romeo and juliet的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Romeo and Juliet. Not much is known about Romeo and Ju- liet, but they were real lovers who lived in Verona, Italy, and died for each other in the year 1303. The Capulets and Mon- tagues were among the inhabitants of the town at that time, and as in Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet were victims of their parents’ senseless rivalry. Their story was told in many versions before the Bard of Avon wrote of his “star-crossed lov- ers.” The tale can be traced to Masuccio’s Novelle (1476). Shake- speare found the tale in Arthur Brooke’s poem “The Tragical Historye of Romeus and Juliet,” containing “a rare example of love constancie . . .” (1562). Romeo alone means a male “lover” today and has a derisive ring, but Romeo and Juliet still means a pair of youthful, often helpless lovers.
