Romeo And Juliet
Let me give you a little bit of history:
Paris had Juliet in hand of marriage but Juliet had fallen in love with Romeo. Who is a Capulet. The Capulet's and Montague's have a feud. so that meant Julie and Romeo could not be married. you may wonder how did this tragic love story begin. Romeo went to a ball that he wasn't supposed to go to because he was a Montague. But he went anyways and saw Juliet there and fell in love with her. They both kissed and demanded in marriage, but they knew that would never happen. Romeo had been banished and Juliet has drank poison that has made her fallen into deep sleep, that makes her look dead. All leading but to people thinking Juliet is dead but this was all Juliet's plan , to get Romeo to marry her.
The story takes place in Verona :Paris and his servant go to see Juliet's tomb and he brought her flowers and sweet water. Paris is warned by his servant that someone is approaching the tomb. So Paris goes and hides and Romeo walks in with his servant and his servant is told to leave because Romeo has asked him to request a letter to his father. Romeo gives his servant some money to leave because he doesn't want him to see what he is about to do. Romeo wants to go in the tomb with Juliet but Paris comes out and stop Romeo.
Paris argues with Romeo because he is a Montague and the fight becomes worse and Romeo and Paris fight. Romeo wins the battle and Paris is dead. In Paris last breath he asks Romeo so he can lay by Juliet and Romeo does because he killed him and had felt bad.
Romeo admires Juliet and wants to be with her so drinks the poison. Juliet, Paris and Romeo all dead. All of sudden Juliet awakens and friar Laurence has just walked in and saw the blood and dead bodies. Friar Laurence tells Juliet to leave but she doesn’t because she loves Romeo and wants to stay with him. She then takes the sword and kills herself because there wasn't enough poison to kill her.
Capulet, servants , Prince and Lady Capulet enter to the ruckus. They all observe the dead bodies and the Prince tries to calm peace by taking things into his hands. He found out that Friar Laurence was behind all this but doesn't hurt him because he wasn't guilty of anything bad. He just wanted Juliet and Romeo to happy. The two families learn from this death that they have to end their fight and live at peace. They both lost something that is irreplaceable.
