"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet"

http://www.william-shakespeare.info/shakespeare-play-romeo-and-juliet.htm

This website has a lot of information and interesting facts on William Shakespeare and Romeo and Juliet.

The overview offers brief information on the play. There are sections devoted to summaries, histories of the play and its performance, characters and actors, and information on Shakespeare's ideas and inspirations for the play. You can also read the play for free on this site.
On this site, you can find information about William Shakespeare himself! You can read a biography about his life and family. You can find fact, time lines, history, and so much more by
exploring this site.

It not only offers information on Romeo and Juliet itself, but Shakespeare's other works of literature. There are lists of his other plays and poems. There are quotes and "Most Famous..." lists. Quizzes and dictionary links are found easily! Information on the Globe theater can be found as well! This site offers anything you would want to know about Shakespeare or any of his literature.

The site is in dark colors so it comes of hard to keep your attention, and pretty bland. Once you overcome that, you will find the information useful and interesting. There are quotes, summaries, history of the play, and random facts found throughout the website. Of all the sites I found, this one has the most useful information.
