Romeo and Juliet

Name: Romeo and Juliet
Author: William Shakespeare

In Verona, the ancient feud between the Montague and Capulet families frequently erupts into violent street brawls. Romeo Montague sneaks into a Capulet party, where he instantly falls in love with Juliet Capulet, and they secretly marry the next day. The romance turns tragic when Romeo kills Juliet’s cousin in a duel and is banished from the city. To avoid an arranged marriage, Juliet fakes her death with a sleeping potion, but the messenger fails to notify Romeo of the ruse. Believing his bride is truly dead, Romeo drinks poison at her tomb, and Juliet awakens only to stab herself upon finding his corpse.
