Romeo and Juliet is suspected to have been written at the beginning of Shakespeare’s career from around 1597-1579. Plays were an incredibly popular and central medium of entertainment during the Elizabethan and Jacobean era. Shakespeare’s plays were the mass media of London for the day.
Shakespeare drew on many sources—both ancient and contemporaneous with his own era—in the writing of Romeo and Juliet. The tale of Pyramus and Thisbe from Ovid’s Metamorphoses tells the story of two Babylonian lovers forbidden from marrying one another by their feuding parents.
