The play, Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is about a tragedy of two star crossed lovers who want nothing more than to be together forever. “…Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.” (2.2.35-36) Romeo, a Montague, who is young and passionate, meets Juliet at a Capulet party. When they meet, it’s love at first sight. Juliet, a Capulet, is a beautiful young lady tired of being controlled by her father, Lord Capulet. The two families are in a never ending feud that comes between Romeo and Juliet’s love. In the course of four and a half days, Romeo and Juliet plan their marriage with the help of Priest Friar Laurence and Juliet’s Nurse. After the couple is married, Romeo is banished from the city of Verona, causing an issue for their ideal fate together. Lord Capulet forced Juliet to marry Count Paris after she married Romeo, leaving Friar to structure a plan to avoid a second marriage for Juliet. Juliet takes a sleeping potion that makes her believably dead for forty-two hours – during this time, Romeo was to be told that she is still alive; however he was not, so he purchased illegal poison so that he did not have to live without Juliet. Juliet wakes up only to find her true love lying dead next to her, thinking it necessary to stab herself with a dagger. After the couple dies, there leaves one question; Who should be pardoned, and who should be punished? The Nurse should be pardoned, while Friar Laurence and Count Paris should be punished.

Wherefore art thou Romeo? ' conveyed through a rule of three repetition. Juliet attempts to create divergence between the Capulet name and herself, a reflection Tony similarly attempts. Indeed, she begins a discourse surrounding the nature of what makes a man, what makes a man a 'Montague, ' by asking rhetorical questions to the audience. Romeo responds; their conversation turns into turn taking. Juliet asks the question, Romeo responds; they have seemingly achieved convergence, neither linguistically dominating the other, and here their love unfolds; Juliet ever the realist combats Romeo 's hyperbole, to little avail. Romeo feels it were superior to that his life is 'ended by their hate, than death prorogued, wanting of thy love. ' The display of affection ends, as forbidden love does, rather swiftly by the appearance of the Nurse, acting in a similar vein to that of Maria 's parents, but not before Romeo is called back and forth by Juliet, oscillating, on the stage before the audience. Such action creates tension, and heightens their love for one another, perfect physical cues replicated through the spoken word. Indeed, not only do they mirror one another, by running back and forth, but through their repetition of good night; they are unable to part from one another, and simply repeat what the other says, to stall they 're parting. Indeed, this

In the fair city of Verona, two rival families, the Montagues and Capulets were involved in a nasty family feud that goes back years before any of the members were born. Even the townspeople were involved in the dispute, because the families were always fighting in the streets and causing disturbances. They disrupted the streets of Verona and even Prince Escalus tried to break up the fighting. They were given a warning, by him that another public fight would result in death. While this was occurring, Romeo, (a Montague) the main character, was getting over his last love, Rosaline, and was very upset. Juliet of the Capulet household had just been introduced to a wealthy young man, Paris, whom her parents wished her to marry. Yet she did not love him. Romeo goes to a party in an effort to forget about Rosaline. At this party he met Juliet, and immediately fell in love with her. He later finds out that she is a Capulet, the rival family of the Montagues. He decides that he loves her anyway and they confess their love for each other during the very famous "balcony scene" in which they agreed to secretly marry the next day. Friar Lawrence agreed to marry them in an effort to end the feuding between the families. Unfortunately, the fighting gets worse and Mercutio (Montague) a good friend of Romeo ends up in a fight with Tybalt (Capulet), Juliet's cousin. Tybalt killed Mercutio, which caused Romeo to kill Tybalt in an angry rage. For this, Romeo is banished from Verona. At the same time, the Capulet's were planning Juliet's marriage to Paris. Juliet didn't want to marry this man so she arranges with Friar Lawrence to fake her own death with a sleeping potion that would make everyone think that she was dead. Friar Lawrence promised to send word to Romeo to meet her when the potion wears off and to rescue her to Mantua, where Romeo was currently staying. There they would live happily ever after. Unfortunately, Romeo didn't receive the message on time and upon hearing of her "death" went to Juliet's tomb where he drinks poison and dies. When Juliet's potion wears off, she wakes to find her lover's dead corpse. She then proceeds to stab herself with Romeo's dagger. The two families find the bodies and with their shared sorrow, finally make peace with each other.
