创作背景

历史背景

罗密欧与朱丽叶的爱情悲剧，据说历史上确有其事，它于1303年发生在意大利维罗纳城。有人还援引但丁《神曲》作为佐证。但此说难以定论。不过，古罗马时倒确实流传着关于一对情侣生死相恋的民间传说，它在漫长的口口相传的过程中，故事和细节不断得到补充和丰富，逐渐演变为后来的罗密欧与朱丽叶的传奇。

16世纪初叶，意大利人路易吉·达·波尔托写了一则短篇小说，罗密欧与朱丽叶的爱情故事，在小说中已见端倪。班戴洛从民间传说中撷取素材，又借鉴前人以此为题材的作品，于1554年写成了他的小说《罗密欧和朱丽叶》。

班戴洛和薄伽丘虽同属文艺复兴时代，但一先一后，相距已近二百年。班戴洛的时代，意大利政治上、经济上已显出颓势，时移俗易，世风日下，表现在小说创作中，则是许多庸俗的言情小说应运而生。而班戴洛却奋意纵笔，写出了充溢着人文主义精神的《罗密欧与朱丽叶》。

班戴洛善于编织曲折变幻、波跌浪涌的故事，擅长描写激情的悲剧性冲突，娓娓动听的叙谈。因此，这部作品迅即被众多艺术家相中，纷纷从中撷取再创作的素材。

近水楼台先得月。班戴洛的小说问世之后仅仅五年，法国人皮埃尔·布瓦多即把它译成法文。不过，这一回法国人只是更多地充当了二传手，倒是英国人对班氏的小说推崇备至，情有独钟。英国人伊英特，把布瓦多的法文版译成了英文。约莫有十几位英国作家，从这则动人的意大利悲情故事中获取了二度创作的灵感和材料。莎士比亚据此创作了悲剧《罗密欧与朱丽叶》。 

时代背景

莎士比亚生活的时代，意大利和欧洲的许多国家正相继开展一场思想文化运动，即文艺复兴运动。这期间是欧洲封建社会逐渐解体，资本主义生产方式在封建社会母体内孕育的时期，人文主义是文艺复业时，资产阶级反封建斗争的思想武器，也是这一时期资产阶级进步文学的中心思想。

其主要内容：

第一，用人性反对神权；

第二，用个性解放反对禁欲主义；

第三，用理性反对蒙昧主义。

其中个性解放是针对封建社会宣扬的禁欲主义，要求劳动人民克制欲望、放弃斗争、放弃现世的幸福而提出的，它肯定现世生活，认为现世幸福高于一切，人生的目的就是追求个人自由和个人幸福。莎士比亚的早期作品主要是宣扬这种人文主义思想，《罗密欧与朱丽叶》就是在这一背景下产生的一部具有反封建意识的爱情悲剧。
