Revision as of 12:47, 14 October 2007
Romeo and Juliet was a tragedy written by Human poet William Shakespeare in the late 16th century.
In 2154, Commander Tucker references the play when speaking to T'Pol about their personal relationship: "It's not like we would have made an ideal couple. A Vulcan and a Human? Romeo and Juliet probably stood a better chance." (ENT: "The Augments")
In 2293, General Chang quoted the play's line "parting is such sweet sorrow" when departing after dinner aboard the Enterprise-A. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
In 2368, Counselor Deanna Troi used an image from Romeo and Juliet to help her crewmembers understand the particularities of the Tamarian language. For someone not versed in Shakespeare's play, the sentence "Juliet. On her balcony." would not be understood as an image of romance, just as "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" was indecipherable for someone not fully mastering the Tamarian language. (TNG: "Darmok")
