ROMEO AND JULIET SYNOPSIS

This story set in Verona, Italy, where there is an ongoing feud between the Montague and Capulet families. It was including Prince Escalus. Romeo, a young man from the Montague house, laments his unrequited love for a woman named Rosaline, who has vowed to remain chaste for the rest of her life. One day, Romeo arrives at the Capulets' party (Capulet is his servant) in costume. He falls in love with young Juliet Capulet from the moment he sees her. However, Juliet's cousin Tybalt recognizes Romeo and wants to kill him on the spot. So, Romeo quietly approaches Juliet and confesses his love for her. After exchanging loving words, they kiss.

Afterwards, Juliet's Nurse tells Romeo that Juliet is a Capulet, which upsets the smitten youngster. Meanwhile, Juliet is similarly distraught when she finds out that Romeo is a Montague. Romeo appears and tells Juliet that he loves her. She warns him to be true in his love, and he swears by his own self that he will be, and both of then plant to be married. Juliet is heart-broken, but she realizes that Romeo would have been killed if he had not fought Tybalt.

‘I know that voice!’ he said.

‘That man is a Montague. What is he doing here?’ He called to his servant,

‘Fetch my sword!’ ‘What is the matter?’ asked Lord Capulet.

‘That man is a Montague. He is our enemy!’ ‘Is it young Romeo?’

‘Yes,’ Tybalt said. ‘Let him stay. The people of Verona say that he is a good young man, and he is behaving like a gentleman tonight. Don’t look so angry. We must entertain our guests.

She sends her Nurse to find Romeo and give him her ring. But, during Romeo and Juliet's only night together, however, Lord Capulet decides that Juliet should marry a young man named Paris, who has been asking for her hand.

‘I would like to marry Juliet. What do you say?’ Paris asked.

‘She is my only child and she is too young,’ said Capulet. ‘Let two more summers pass before she marries. But you can speak to her and try to win her love. Every year at this time I give a great feast. It will take place tonight. All my friends will come to my house and dance. You must come too – then you can talk to Juliet.’

Juliet then visits Friar Laurence, and together they concoct a plan to reunite her with Romeo. The Friar gives Juliet a potion that will make her seem dead for at least two days, during which time Romeo will come to meet her in the Capulet vault. Juliet drinks the Friar's potion that night. The next morning, the day of Juliet and Paris' wedding, her Nurse finds her "dead" in bed.

When Romeo's servant brings him news in Mantua that Juliet has died, Romeo is heart-broken. He hurries back to Verona, but first, buys poison from an Apothecary and writes a suicide note detailing the tragic course of events.

Romeo arrives at the Capulet vault and finds it guarded by Paris. Paris challenges Romeo to a duel, and Romeo kills him quickly. Romeo then carries Paris' body into the grave and sets it down. Upon seeing Juliet's "dead" body lying in the tomb, Romeo drinks the poison, gives her a last kiss - and dies. Friar Laurence explains the whole story, and Romeo's letter confirms it. The two families agree to settle their feud and form an alliance despite the tragic circumstances.
