Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that four centuries haven't diminished the relevance of this tragic and brilliantly worded story, in which the examples of two feuding families drive home a fatal point. Still, teens may see the story as a glamorization of suicide and the subject is well worth discussing with them.

Sexual Content

Nude male posterior and a glimpse of breasts in a tasteful bed scene.

Violence

Bitter quarreling leads to murder and suicide. Some deadly swordplay. Two young people take their own lives.
