Shakespeare is very famous writer.Three Great Plays of Shakespeare are sad stories.In this book,there are "Romeo and Juliet","Macbeth","King Lear".

I will show you about first story.
Romeo was the son of Lord Montague.Juliet was the daughter of Lord Capulet.The two families had had a terrible quarrel.But their son and daughter fell in love.It is forbidden love.Unfortunately,they couldn't escape from the war between their families...

I think the three of tragedy plays are wonderful.It is because they have 2 aspect in these story,"Sadness" and "Lover". ( )

All three stories in this book have sad endings.
The main characters die at last in each stories.
Many of the characters are weak and foolish but , they have some kind aspects.

I highly recommend this book.
Especially, I like Romeo and Juliet.
Thier pitiful death is really sad. ( )
