Explanation: The literary work that mainly inspired Shakespeare to write his famous play <em>Romeo and Juliet (1597), </em>which tells the story of two star-crossed lovers, was <u><em>The Tragicall Historye of Romeus and Iuliet </em></u><u>written by Arthur Brooke, a long poem that attracted most of the readers during the Elizabethan Era.</u> Although they are similar, Brooke's version and Shakespeare's version present different endings.
