A Love Story

Romeo and Juliet depict a story of conquering love despite the unfavorable circumstances that existed. It is a story that takes place amidst two families that were fighting. Both Romeo and Juliet came from the two separate families that despised each other. They met at a party and Romeo falls in love at once. He is saddened by the fact that Juliet is from his rival family. By this time Juliet is in love with another person and the father expects them to get married.

Romeo decides to risk his life trying to speak to Juliet and sneaks to Juliet’s bedroom window. He learns that Juliet is in love with him too when he watched and listened to her. They even make plans to get married secretly as they conversed through the window. On the following day, they both went to the cleric who agreed to marry them believing that it would bring peace to the two families. Romeo is forced into a fight and in the process he kills someone. He is advised to run away so that he could not be sentenced to death. Juliet is very sad to hear of the news that Romeo has to flee. Juliet’s father is forcing her to marry the person he wanted. Juliet seeks advice from the cleric and he offers her poison that is supposed to make her go on deep sleep and people will think that she is dead.

The cleric plan is to send a message to Romeo to come back and meet Juliet when she wakes up in the tomb. Things did not go as planned because the message never reaches Romeo and he hears of Juliet’s death. He buys poison and goes to Juliet’s tomb from where he takes it and dies. Juliet wakes up just to find Romeo dead and takes his dagger and kills herself too. When both rival families learn what happened to their children, they agreed and ended the years of fighting and lived peacefully.
