Hi, I'm a huge fan of Shakespear and i do believe that it was based on a true story, however if anyone said it wasn't because it is impossible for a person to fall in love and die in a period of three days that is fair enough, but this was only Shakespears interpretation of the story, he had to contract the time period for the lovers and also reduce the number of days in order to avoid confusion in the audience whilst at the same time enhancing the tradegy and audience response. If he wrote about every little detail the lovers faced it would tear away from the greatness his play posses. I do believe that Romeo and Juliet existed and their story is true however Shakespear's interpretation is not accurate word for word. As a writer and an aspiring actor, Shakespear had to make changes to appeal to the more 'modern' society (back in the Elizabethan Period). Movies based on true stories do it today as well ie. Memoirs of a Geisha is based on a true story however names were changed and certain events were too in order to appeal more to todays audience. I know this doesn't anwer you question but I decided to rebutt any answers that will go against this arugument before they appear. It was also based on an Italian tale that dates back years. They have also found the remains of what they call Romeo and Juliet, two 3000 year old skeletons in eternal embrace from the Neolithic era in Mantua, south of Verona.
