Never has a story been narrated as often and has crossed as many geographic, cultural and class boundaries as Romeo and Juliet. In ancient Greece a myth, like the wind or a river, crossed lands and cultures, changing from story to story, but always carrying along its profound meaning. And so, in our day, the myth of Romeo and Juliet crosses all the possible social categories of the western world. It probably is the most well-known story of our culture. Beyond the characters and setting, it is the feelings which pervade the story and determine its main structure that strike our sensibility of Westerners. Passion, Conflict, Destiny, Love, Death These are the five divinities of this myth. Mauro Bigonzetti |
