Romeo and Juliet, a play written by William Shakespeare is one of the most popular love stories of all time. It is a story about "A pair of star-crossed lovers", Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo noticed that his ‘love’ Rosaline had been invited to the party, so he decided to attend. This lead up to the meeting of Romeo and Juliet. This is an example of a scene taken from the play to demonstrate that it was a genuine coincidence that Romeo happened to be in the right place at the right time, and the servant not being able to read.
