The central theme of the piece - unlike the Shakespearean tragedy referred to in the title - is lost or unrequited love;

The text of the piece, marked by a remarkable poetic charge, was inspired by Mark Knopfler from the failure of his relationship with the American singer Holly Beth Vincent

The song is largely focused on an extremely realistic dialogue between a young man and a young woman, called respectively "Romeo" and "Juliet" as the two protagonists of the famous tragedy written by William Shakespeare in 1594-1596. The narrator describes a Romeo "upset by love" while he is about to sing a melancholic serenade under the girl's window, which welcomes him showing off detachment and indifference. The dialogue between the two youngsters is transformed into a monologue by Romeo, who - after having recalled the promises that the girl has not kept - calls to mind the pleasant moments spent with her, trying to persuade her to start again their relationship. Juliet does not give any answer and the song ends with the same verses that the narrator had used to introduce the story, leaving therefore to understand how the heartfelt words of Romeo have not had the desired effect. Mark Knopfler briefly explained the meaning of the piece:"In the song, the figure of Romeo is understood in an ironic sense: it makes itself ridiculous because when a girl does not want to know, there's nothing to be done. Even if his heart is shattered, he has a funny side. I remember that once I was upset because of a girl and my father told me: "You are just like me, the time will come when you will laugh at it"; and it is true, we detach ourselves. I also remember to smile at Romeo's impetus while I was writing the song: in a sense it makes itself ridiculous, but this is part of life. He feels very strong feelings within himself. "

The line, "Now you just say, oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him," came from an interview where Holly Vincent was quoted as saying: "What happened was that I had a scene with Mark Knopfler and it got to the point where he couldn't handle it and we split up."

Knopfler's younger brother David, how was rhythm guitarist in Dire Straits, left the band during the album sessions. Having two brothers in the same band caused tension and arguments. Said David: "I left because it was no longer possible for Mark and I to work in the same band. We'd be walking around in the studio with eyes averted to the floor. We no longer had a communicating relationship."

This song is about a couple who are in love, but they break up because "The time wasn't right." It's a sad sentiment, as the guy will always love the girl.

This is played in the movie Empire Records, although it does not appear on the soundtrack.

The Killers covered this on their 2007 B-sides, covers and rarities compilation Sawdust. In an interview, the band's drummer Ronnie Vannucci explained why they chose this song: "We've covered 'Romeo And Juliet' because it's a great song - Brandon was really into it. The original idea was to do the song with Johnny Borrell (Vocalist of British band Razorlight) though, but he got really sick and couldn't do it.. Frontman Brandon Flowers added: "We're not overly anxious about Dire Straits, though. We're not ashamed of covering 'Romeo And Juliet,' either. It's one of the finest songs ever. Brilliant melodies."

Romeo × Juliet is an anime television series, loosely based on William Shakespeare's classical play, Romeo and Juliet, along with numerous references and characters from other Shakespearean plays. Though the anime borrows mostly from Shakespeare's story, the manga adaptation differs extensively from the original.
The plot
On the floating continent of Neo Verona, the Montague family slaughters the entire Capulet family and seizes control of the kingdom. The true heir to the throne, Juliet Fiammata Asto Capulet, manages to escape the onslaught and is hidden away by loyalists for 14 years with hope that she may one day overthrow the cruel Montague regime. Despite having forgotten the murder of her entire family, Juliet now secretly protects the oppressed citizens of Neo Verona as a vigilante called the Red Whirlwind. During one of her escapades she meets Romeo Candorebanto Montague, the kind and selfless son of the tyrannical Prince Laertes Montague, and without knowledge of each other's background, they both fall in love at first sight. Unfortunately, however, their destiny is a cursed one: not only does each of the two families wish to obliterate the other, but an ancient secret hidden beneath Neo Verona also threatens their undying love for each other. Will they be able to defy the stars, or is this truly a love that can never be?

The setting is Verona, where two families,the Montagues and the Capulets, are locked in a violent feud. Romeo is the son of Lord Montague and Juliet is Capulet's daughter. The play opens with the Prologue spoken by a chorus. The opening phase of the play is marked by recurrent transitions from blank verse to rhyme. During a ball Romeo, falls in love with Juliet. With the help of a Friar they marry secretly the next day, but Romeo is banished to Mantua, for having killed Juliet’s cousin in revenge of the murder of his friends. Meanwhile Juliet, in order to not marry a Count as her father wants, helped by the Friar decides to drink a potion which will give her the appearance of being dead for 42 hours in this way she could go away with Romeo; but Friar’s message doesn’t rich Romeo in time, so he seeing Juliet dead, decides to kill himself. When Juliet awakes, she finds her beloved dead and kills herself.
First Act
The first act covers one whole day and it opens in a Verona street. This act is composed of a series of dialogues about the courtly concept of love and holy devotion. It ends with the scene of the masque and the meeting of Romeo and Juliet.
Second Act
The second act concentrates on the development of the relationship between Romeo and Juliet. The dialogue between the two lovers deals with the theme of love in a way that departs from courtly conversations. This act ends with the secret wedding of the two lovers in the chapel by Friad Laurence.

Third Act

The pace of events increases. It is the longest act and it can be divided into two parts: that of public events, full of action and part devoted to private events. Mercutio, Romeo's friend, is killed by Tybalt, Juliet's cousin, doring a street fight. In revenge Rome kills Tybalt and is banished from Verona to Mantua. The act ends with Romeo and Juliet's wedding night at the Capuets' house.
Fourth Act
It is the preparatory act to the final tragedy. To avoid the marriage with Count Paris organised by her father, Juliet takes a drug given her by Friar Laurence. This potion makes her seem dead. The friar sends a messager to mantua, but before he arrives, Romeo is told Juliet is dead and decides to come back to Verona.
Fifth Act
The fifth act consists of three scenes. The first breaks the unity of place, moving from Verona to Mantua. In the last scene Romeo poisons himself after seeing Juliet apparently dead in the tomb, while Juliet, waking from a trance, sees romeo dead and stabs herself with hid dagger.

1. Shakespeare’s father held a lot of different jobs, and at one point got paid to drink beer: In 1556 he was appointed the borough’s official “ale taster,” meaning he was responsible for inspecting bread and malt liquors. The next year he took another big step up the social ladder by marrying Mary Arden, the daughter of an aristocratic farmer who happened to be his father’s former boss. John later became a moneylender and held a series of municipal positions.
2. Shakespeare married an older woman who was three months pregnant at the time: the couple’s intention to marry was only announced at church once and six months after the wedding, the Shakespeares welcomed a daughter, Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith followed in February 1585.
3. We probably don’t spell Shakespeare’s name correctly—but, then again, neither did he: Sources from William Shakespeare’s lifetime spell his last name in more than 80 different ways, ranging from “Shappere” to “Shaxberd.” In the handful of signatures that have survived, the Bard never spelled his own name “William Shakespeare,” using variations or abbreviations such as “Willm Shakp,” “Willm Shakspere” and “William Shakspeare” instead. However it’s spelled, Shakespeare is thought to derive from the Old English words “schakken” (“to brandish”) and “speer” (“spear”).
4. Shakespeare's will: On his death Shakespeare made several gifts to various people but left his property to his daughter, Susanna. The only mention of his wife in Shakespeare’s own will is: “I gyve unto my wief my second best bed with the furniture”. The “furniture” was the bedclothes for the bed.
5. Shakespeare penned a curse for his grave, daring anyone to move his body from that final resting place. His epitaph was:
Good friend for Jesus’ sake forbear,                                      Caro amico per amor di Gesù,
To dig the dust enclosed here:                                                rinuncia a scavare la polvere che qui è racchiusa.
Blest be the man that spares these stones,                          Benedetto colui che risparmia queste pietre,
And curst be he that moves my bones.                                 e maledetto chi muoverà le mie ossa.

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon on 23rd April 1564. His father William was a successful local businessman, and his mother Mary was the daughter of a landowner. Relatively prosperous, it is likely the family paid for Williams education, although there is no evidence he attended university.
In 1582 William, aged only 18, married an older woman named Anne Hathaway. They had three children, Susanna, Hamnet and Juliet. Their only son Hamnet died aged just 11.
After his marriage, information about the life of Shakespeare is sketchy, but it seems he spent most of his time in London – writing and acting in his plays.
Due to some well-timed investments, Shakespeare was able to secure a firm financial background, leaving time for writing and acting. The best of these investments was buying some real estate near Stratford in 1605, which soon doubled in value.
It seemed Shakespeare didn’t mind being absent from his family – he only returned home during Lent when all the theatres were closed. It is thought that during the 1590s he wrote the majority of his sonnets.
By the early Seventeenth Century, Shakespeare had begun to write plays in the genre of tragedy. These plays, such as Hamlet, Othello and King Lear, often hinge on some fatal error or flaw in the lead character and provide fascinating insights into the darker aspects of human nature. These later plays are considered Shakespeare’s finest achievements.

William Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets mostly in the 1590s. These short poems, deal with issues such as lost love. His sonnets have an enduring appeal due to his formidable skill with language and words. The plays of Shakespeare have been studied more than any other writing in the English language and have been translated into numerous languages. He was rare as a play-write for excelling in tragedies, comedies and histories. He deftly combined popular entertainment with an extraordinary poetic capacity for expression which is almost mantric in quality.

Shakespeare died in 1616; it is not clear how he died, and numerous suggestions have been put forward. In 1616, there was an outbreak of typhus (“The new fever”) which may have been the cause. The average life expectancy of someone born in London, England in the Sixteenth Century was about 35 years old, Shakespeare died age 52.
