His main source was Arthur Brooke's poem Romeus and Juliet. But the story was not original to Brooke either; he got it from a French retelling of an Italian story that was based on another Italian story and so on.

Does the book Romeo and Juliet revolve around the love of william shakespeare?

No. That was the plot of the movie Shakespeare in Love. In fact the story of Romeo and Juliet was much older than Shakespeare, and it would be just as ridiculous for someone in Shakespeare's day to have claimed it was about them as it would for someone today to do so. "I've written a story about Romeo and Juliet in 2013 and it's based on my life experiences." Sure it is.


Which actress played Viola in the movie Shakespeare in Love?

Lady Viola goes to America with her new husband. Shakespeare writes the play Twelfth Night about her. Although the plot of Shakespeare in Love is about Shakespeare writing Romeo and Juliet, and it mirrors Romeo and Juliet in many ways, it is a very different story from Romeo and Juliet. There is no "Lady Viola" in Romeo and Juliet; she is a fictional creation of the writers of the screenplay.
