Romeo Juliet

In fair Verona, a bitter feud raged between the Montague and Capulet families. Amidst this animosity, young Romeo Montague attends a Capulet feast and instantly falls in love with Juliet Capulet. Their hearts entwined, they share a passionate kiss, unaware of each other's family name.

Later, in the iconic balcony scene, they confess their forbidden love, pledging to marry. With the help of Friar Laurence, who hopes their union will end the family feud, they are secretly wed.

However, tragedy soon strikes. Tybalt, Juliet's hot-headed cousin, kills Romeo's dear friend Mercutio. Enraged, Romeo avenges Mercutio's death by killing Tybalt, leading to his banishment from Verona. Heartbroken and separated, Juliet is then forced by her parents to marry Paris, a nobleman.

Desperate, Juliet seeks Friar Laurence's help once more. He devises a plan: Juliet will drink a potion that makes her appear dead for 42 hours, allowing her to escape the marriage to Paris and reunite with Romeo. The Friar sends a letter to Romeo explaining the plan.

Tragically, the letter never reaches Romeo. Instead, he hears news of Juliet's "death." Devastated, he rushes back to Verona, finds Juliet in her tomb, and takes his own life beside her. Juliet awakens to find Romeo dead and, unwilling to live without him, stabs herself. Their untimely deaths finally end their families' ancient hatred, but at a devastating cost.
