A significant number of asexuals also identify as aromantic, which means that they do not experience romantic attraction. Separating romantic and sexual attraction is not strictly limited to asexual people, however. For instance, it is possible for someone to be an aromantic heterosexual, or any other combination.
Shakespeare got the story of Romeo and Juliet from a poem by Arthur Brooke called Romeus and Juliet. In Brooke's poem, the story takes place in Verona, Italy.
In the 20th and into the 21st century, the play has been adapted in versions as diverse as George Cukor 's 1935 film Romeo and Juliet, Franco Zeffirelli 's 1968 version Romeo and Juliet, and Baz Luhrmann 's 1996 MTV-inspired Romeo + Juliet.omeo speaks of a foreboding he feels in the stars' movements early in the play, and when he learns of Juliet's death, he defies the stars' course for him. Another central theme is haste: Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet spans a period of four to six days, in contrast to Brooke's poem's spanning nine months.
