Romeo and Juliet - Summary

Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, is truly a classic love story. In this play, Romeo and Juliet have families who are enemies, so any love between them would not be accepted. This is what makes this play so enticing. In the beginning, Romeo is in love with a girl already but when Romeo attends a party at Juliet's house and sees Juliet, he automatically falls in love with her. And the feeling is mutual. So he secretly stays around her house climbing up to her window just so that he could protest his love for her. They decide to secretly get married but problems occur and Juliet has to fake her death just so that they can be left alone. However, Romeo is unaware of this and he ends up killing himself so that he can be with her. When she awakens she finds him dead next to her so she immediately kills herself. All because of a forbidden love.
