15. Shakespeare didn’t totally come up with the idea
It is well know that West Side Story is based off of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. However, Shakespeare based his play on a poem called The Tragic Historye of Romeus and Iuliet by by Arthur Brooke, who had based his poem on a poem called Pyramus and Thisbe by the Roman poet Ovid. These are age-old themes of bigotry, violence and prejudice. West Side Story just managed to add in song and dance flair to the issues.
