No. Romeo and Juliet were characters that William Shakespeare created. Shakespear made them up and there might be a grave in Verona, but it just shows that there was a play in Verona. They are not real...they are made up.

No it was not it was true but this was not "Shakespeare in Love". Romeo and Juliet was in fact based on the life of two real lovers who both died for each other and lived in Verona, Italy in 1303. Both the Capulets and Montagues existed in Verona at this time and Shakespeare is reckoned to have discovered this tragic love story in Arthur Brooke's 1562 poem entitled "The Tragical Historye of Romeus and Juliet" .

Romeo and Juliet is made up but it borrows from tragic love stories of the past such as:

Pyramis and Thisbe - Ovid

Ephisiaca - Xenophon of Ephesus

Mariotto and Gianozza - Masuccio Salerintano

Tristan and Isolde - (possibly, it most likely influenced the story of Guievere and Lancelot)

Even though it's just a story you can visit "Juliet's Castle" in Verona, Italy. There is a balcony on the castle revered as Juliet's and it is a popular dining location on Valentines day and for young lovers. A friend of my fiance proposed to his girlfriend there.

It has neither fairies nor magic and it isn't primarily a children's story. A fairy tale could possibly get away with either one of those, but both together make a pretty convincing argument that it isn't.

Romeo is simply a fictional character who appears in a famous play by William Shakespeare. He is neither a martyr nor a legend.
