who is the original writer for the story Romeo & joleet?

Answer 1

As noted in previous answers, the play "Romeo and Juliet" is officially attributed to William Shakespeare, an actor who performed in London in the late 1500s/early 1600s. Of course, there is a lot of debate as to whether the actor William Shakespeare was actually the writer of all the materials attributed to him.

As for the original source of the materials, as noted in other answers, there are a lot of literary threads that the writer "borrowed" from, and most of those threads in turn borrowed from even older sources. Of course, that is part of the history of great literature with their being very few truly original ideas but the greatness coming from the use made of those concepts.
