Romeo and Juliet is one of the most famous love stories in the world.

It was written in the late fifteen hundreds. It was written by

Shakespeare who was a famous for his love stories and also tragedy’s.

It all starts when Benvolio and Romeo decide to gatecrash the

Capulet’s party, so that they can gawp at girls. When they get to the

party he spots Juliet and he likes her a lot. The nurse calls for

Juliet and finds her with Romeo and she takes Juliet away. Romeo

clearly realises that Juliet’s a Capulet and Juliet finds out that

Romeo’s a Montague. They remember that their two families’ are enemies

and are at war, and that both Romeo and Juliet should also be against

each other. They have only been seeing each other for a little while

and they both decide to get married. Romeo then gets banished for

killing Juliet’s cuisine Tybalt. Juliet takes a poisonous potion that

Friar Lawrence has made, to make her seem dead so that she doesn’t

have to marry

Count Paris. Balthasar (Romeo’s servant) tells Romeo that Juliet’s

dead, and Romeo decides to by some deadly potion from a chemist in

Mantua. He is going to Juliet’s tomb, back to his home town, even

under the risk of been banished. Paris visits Juliet’s tomb. Romeo

arrives and tells his servant to go so he can be with Juliet’s tomb

alone. Romeo opens Juliet’s tomb, Paris tries to stop him-they fight,

and Paris is killed. Romeo puts Paris in a tomb and then kills

himself. Friar Lawrence arrives and sees the dead bodies; he is

frightened of what may happen if he sticks around. Juliet awakes and

kills herself with a dagger after the friar has leaves. She wanted to

be with Romeo because of their all mighty love, dieing was the only

thing.

In Act 1 Scene 1 the play opens with the Capulet servants are in the

town square. The servants attitude to love is crude and sexual.
