From William Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers in Romeo and Juliet (1597) to Maxwell Anderson's tragic couple in Winterset (1935), to West Side Story (1957), the theme of strong but ill-fated love persists. Why opposites attract will be the focus of our discussion.
It is strongly recommended that you read (or re-read) Romeo and Juliet and Winterset in advance of the course. You also may want to watch a video of West Side Story, although we will show excerpts from the movie in class.
