Never has a story been narrated as often, and has crossed as many geographic, cultural and class boundaries, as Romeo and Juliet.
In ancient Greece a myth, like the wind or a river, crossed lands and cultures, changing from story to story, but always carried its profound meaning.
And so, in our day, the myth of Romeo and Juliet crosses the social categories of the western world, and is probably the most well-known story of our culture.
The feelings which pervade the story and determine its main structure, rather than the characters and setting, strike our sensibility of Westerners.

Passion, Conflict, Destiny, Love, Death.

These are the five elements of this myth.
