Summary "The Works of William Shakespeare [Cambridge Edition] [Vol. 7 of 9]" by Shakespeare is a collection of plays written in the late 16th to early 17th century. This volume includes some of Shakespeare's most renowned tragedies such as "Romeo and Juliet," "Timon of Athens," "Julius Caesar," and "Macbeth." The compilation likely addresses themes of love, ambition, betrayal, and the human condition through the intricate narratives and characterizations that have captivated readers and audiences for centuries. The opening of the volume presents "Romeo and Juliet," beginning with an engaging prologue delivered by a Chorus that introduces the age-old feud between the Montague and Capulet families, setting the stage for the tragic romance of their children, Romeo and Juliet. The initial scenes feature the fiery and comedic exchanges among characters which highlight the tension in Verona due to the ongoing conflict, offering a glimpse into the personal turmoil of Romeo, who is in love with Rosaline, a love unreciprocated that causes him great sadness. As Romeo's friend Benvolio attempts to encourage him to move on from this unfulfilled love, the stage is set for his fateful encounter with Juliet, foreshadowed by a promise of both beauty and impending tragedy.
