"Romeo & Juliet" is written a play by William Shakespears in England. "Romeo & Juliet" is a tragedy.

The stage is Verona city in Italy in the 14th century. In there, Montagues and Capulet repeat strife. Romeo of Montagues is afflicted by crush on Rosaline. Romeo sneaks into Capulet's party with his friends for his pastime. In there, Romeo sees Juliet of Capulet, Romeo and Juliet fall in love in a moment. Romeo and Juliet marries secretly through the good offices of Friar Laurence. Laurence expects to put an end to strife of the House of Montagues and Capulet. But, right after marriage, Romeo is caught up in strife on the street and kills Tybalt (he is a nephew of Lady Capulet) in revenge for being killed Mercutio (he is a best friend of Romeo). Prince Escalus (he is the ruling Prince of Verona) punishes Romeo to the banishment. In the meantime, Lady Capulet orders Juliet (her heart is filled with grief) to marry Count Paris (he is a kinsman of Escalus). Juliet requests Friar Laurence to her help, and Friar Laurence plans to truck of used suspended animation's poison for come up her to Romeo. But, this plan doesn't go the round to banished Romeo, Romeo thinks Juliet dies, and Romeo dies to drink poison at Juliet's grave, the right after Juliet waken from suspended animation dies to use Romeo's dagger, too. The House of Montagues and Capulet grieve to know things in the truth, and compound at last.

This story expresses irrational youth, passion, love owing to the youth, love gotten over reason, and result of the end of conflict between Montagues and Capulet. I feel sad story.....m(_ _)m

☆English literature introduction☆

Today, I take Professor Yoshio Yoshida's lecture that is "English literature introduction" in Friday 4th time. I learn about Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw.

Pygmalion, in Greek mythology, was a sculptor who made a beautiful marble statue of a woman. He named it Galatea. The statue was so beautiful that he fell in love with it. He doted on the statue, perfected it, dressed it, gave it jewelry and talked to it. Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, took notice of Pygmalion. She granted Galatea life and instructed her to love Pygmalion. Galatea and Pygmalion were married and lived happily to the end of Pygmalion's days. Shaw adapted this myth to Victorian England.

George Bernard Shaw is a famous Irish playwright and a devoted socialist. He made his American debut with Man and Superman, which was an immediate hit.

Shaw's dramatical intention was not to entertain but to get people to understand his criticism of modern society.

Only two of his plays, Pygmalion and Major Barbara were allowed by Shaw to become movies.

Pygmalion, in Greek mythology, was a sculptor who made a beautiful marble statue of a woman. Based on this myth George Bernard Shaw made his famous play Pygmalion which portrays the efforts by a British professor of linguistics to teach a cockney flower girl to talk and behave like an upper class "English Lady."

George Bernard Shaw won the Nobel prize for literature in 1925.
