An actually good and simple love story bastardized by an English playwright, featuring a fiery but gentle lady from the Capulets/Cappellettis, a stubborn but passionate lad from the Montagues/Montecchis, poison, secret marriage, dagger, death and sleeping with some old bones.

Get the Romeo and Julietmug. Romeo and Juliet is originally a novella written by Italian writer Luigi da Porto, who wrote this because he couldn't marry his cousin. It got revised by a monk named Matteo Bandello, then translated to Baguette Language by some French guy, then landed on Arthur Brooke. He then wrote it as a poem with some dark shit featuring Romeo banging his head against the wall, then named it Romeus and Juliet. And of course, Shakespeare read Brooke's work and based his tragedy on it, and we got the version of Romeo and Juliet that almost everyone hates.
Differences:
• The Da Porto novella features a passionate and truly in love Romeo and Giulietta, while the Shakespeare Tragedy has a set of horny teens who thought lust and love are the same. (I kinda blame it for the tragedy's shoddy timeline and Shakespeare turning them into teens.)
• The Shakespeare Tragedy features Tybalt and Mercutio with personalities, while the Da Porto novella only have them as extras.
• The Shakespeare Tragedy had Romeo dying all alone. In the Da Porto novella, he had Romeo dying until Giulietta woke up. (Kinda like Romeo+Juliet.)
To summarize, Romeo e Giulietta by Da Porto was born out of a man's failed love, while Shakespeare's tragedy was born to torment stupid teens while giving tears to Shakespeare Simps.
If you encounter this and experience symptoms such as cringe, brain damage and boredom, find more adaptations or read the novella.
(If symptoms persist, consult the Hungarian Musical Rómeó és Júlia.)

Get the Romeomug. Romeo is a complex person. Where do I start. Romeo is a Indian. Romeo is fat. He liked a girl name starting with S... however she liked a skinny Africian... see the difference? What else you should know about Romeo's lore.. Oh yes, he went to prom with a pansexual Africian. Yes thats very awkward. He also had another man in his "Cave".

Get the Romeo Smug. A amazing guy who’s very very attractive. He’s the leader of the group and everyone usually does what he says. He’s a real chill guy but can turn evil ins seconds by roast the frick out of someone. If you find a Romeo make sure not to get in a argument because this man gonna win without a doubt all he does is speak with facts so don’t even try him. Make sure to never leave a Romeo and if your dating one take good care of him he likes a lot of love so show him that love and affection
Person: “Damn that guy over there real sexy bet his names romeo”
{Another example} Girl: “Damn what a Romeo wish I was dating him smh”
