{"product_id":"romeo-and-juliet-folger-shakespeare-library-1","title":"Romeo and Juliet (Folger Shakespeare Library)","description":"In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare creates a violent world, in which two young people fall in love. It is not simply that their families disapprove; the Montagues and the Capulets are engaged in a blood feud.\n\nIn this death-filled setting, the movement from love at first sight to the lovers’ final union in death seems almost inevitable.
