Romeo and Juliet

 

Romeo the son of Montague was friends with Mercutio, his cousin Benvolio and also his servant named Balthasar. Juliet who is the daughter of the rich Capulet.
             The play starts in a street in the city of Verona, Italy where Tybalt (nephew of Capulet) was starting to annoy Benvolio so they ended up fighting in the street until the prince came and broke up another fight caused by the two and said if they ever cause anymore trouble in the streets of Verona there will be a big punishment for the two of them.
             Later on that evening Capulet was planning a big costume party for everyone except people related to or from the house of Montague. Romeo, Mercutio and Benvolio found out about this party and decided to go dressed up so nobody recognize them. While they were at the party Romeo found Juliet and was instantly in love with Juliet and the same for Juliet being in love with Romeo. After the party Romeo left his friends and snuck up to Juliet's balcony where they exchanged vows of love with each other and made arrangements to get married without their own family members knowing. The next day Romeo went to see Friar Lawrence to see if he could marry the two of them that afternoon in his cell, he replied by saying yes. That evening when Juliet and Romeo came to give the Friar their confessions he married them. Later on that day when Romeo went to tell Benvolio and Mercutio about the good news he found Tybalt already there talking and arguing about why they were at the party the night before, they ended up drawing their swords and having a fight, but since Romeo was now part of their family he couldn't let them fight and kill each other so just before Tybalt swung at Mercutio Romeo ran in front of Mercutio and caught Mercutio off guard and paid attention to Romeo instead of Tybalt and in the end Mercutio died from the poison on the end of the sword Tybalt cut him with. In anger Romeo got so mad he forgot about being related to Tybalt through marriage and chased after him and started to fight with him until Romeo stabbed Tybalt and Tybalt died.
