This tragic play is composed by one of the stalwarts of writers, William Shakespeare, about two "star-crossed lovers" whose deaths, at last, join their fighting families. The Montagues and the Capulets, Verona's two quarrelling honorable houses, are continually fighting and therefore the Prince of Verona gives a decree that will force a capital punishment on anybody found dueling. Romeo, a Montague is charmed by Rosaline, a niece of Capulet. Romeo is banished from Verona for disregarding the prince's order. However, he consummates his marriage to Juliet. While Romeo is away, the Capulets unknown about Juliet's marriage decide to get her married to Paris who is the prince's cousin. Juliet meets Friar Laurence who helped in their marriage to devise a plan to keep her away from her parent's desires. She acquires a medicine that will allow her to appear dead for 42 hours. Friar Laurence reaches out to Romeo so he can protect her from her tomb. Tragically, Friar Laurence delays, and word arrives at Romeo that Juliet has died. Romeo, misery stricken, chooses to take poison and dies in her tomb. The Montagues and Capulets, when confronted with the terrific truth that their fight has claimed, promise to stop the feud between the two houses.
