Juliet was a fertility doctor working in Miami, Florida. She worked on a radical new fertility treatment which allowed a male mouse to become pregnant. Her sister, Rachel, became the first human test subject. However, Juliet treated her sister in secret until her ex-husband, who was ... her supervisor, discovered what she was doing. He attempted to blackmail Juliet into working with him in exchange for keeping quiet about the possible ethical concerns. Richard Alpert, a representative of Mittelos Bioscience, courted Juliet in bringing her on board to further her work, but Juliet declined as her ex-husband wouldn't allow her anything; he would have to be hit by a bus for Juliet to leave.

Juliet is by the fountain in the garden of the Capulet residence when the Nurse calls for her. Romeo's reveler friends, Benvolio and Mercutio search for their love-sick pal, invoking no response from their derisive comments: "He heareth not, he stirreth not, he moveth...not. The ape is dead." Calls of "Romeo" and "Juliet" intermingle in the night air. Romeo scales the garden wall surrounding the Capulets to duck away from his comrades and to find some solitude, while listening to them from an orchard tree. He mutters to himself about Mercutio ("He jests at scars that never felt a wound") and the newest set of wounds which he must himself endure.

Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to Ancient Greece. Its plot is based on an Italian tale, translated into verse as Romeus and Juliet by Arthur Brooke in 1562, and retold in prose in Palace of Pleasure by William Painter in 1582. Brooke and Painter were Shakespeare's chief sources of inspiration for Romeo and Juliet. He borrowed heavily from both, but developed minor characters, particularly Mercutio and Paris, in order to expand the plot. The play was probably written around 1595-6, and first published as a quarto in 1597. The text was of poor quality, and later editions corrected it, bringing it more in line with Shakespeare's original text.

Before Juliet begins the ultrasound, Sun reveals that she slept with another man before coming to the island, so the baby is probably not Jin's since he is sterile. Juliet reveals... that men on the island have a sperm count five times higher than anywhere else. If the date of conception occurred before Sun arrived, she will live but Jin will not be the true father. If it was on the island, Sun will die but Jin is the true father. The test reveals that the baby was conceived on the island, making Jin the father. Juliet tells Sun none of the women lived past the middle of their second trimester, giving Sun two months to live.

A perennial staple of high school English classes, Romeo and Juliet was written by Shakespeare at a relatively early juncture in his literary career, most probably in 1594 or 1595. During much of the twentieth century, critics tended to disparage this play in comparison to the four great tragedies that Shakespeare wrote in the first decade of the seventeenth century (Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth, and Othello). Appraised next to the Bard's mature works, Romeo and Juliet appears to lack the psychological depth and the structural complexity of Shakespeare's later tragedies. But over the past three decades or so, many scholars have altered this assessment, effectively upgrading its status within Shakespeare's canon. They have done this by discarding comparative evaluation and judging Romeo and Juliet as a work of art in its own right.

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet was published in two distinct quarto editions prior to the publication of the First Folio of 1623. These are referred to as Q1 and Q2. Q1, the first printed edition, appeared in 1597, printed by John Danter. Because its text contains numerous differences from the later editions, it is labelled a 'bad quarto'; the twentieth century editor T. J .B. Spencer described it as "a detestable text, probably a reconstruction of the play from the imperfect memories of one or two of the actors.", suggesting that it had been pirated for publication.[14] An alternative explanation for Q1's shortcomings is that the play (like many others of the time) may have been heavily edited before performance by the playing company.[15]
