Romeo and Juliet Where did Shakespeare come up with the storyline for Romeo and Juliet? Asked by bookragstutor on 28 Nov 08:47 Last updated by anonymous on 23 Dec 00:24
Shakespeare's play may be based on older stories that had many of the same elements. Many experts believe that Shakespeare would have been aware of the story of Pyramus and Thisbe by Ovid, as the characters and plots are similar.
