A: Romeo and Juliet is a tragic story about two lovers falling in love. Their families dislike each other meaning that they weren't allowed to be together. In the end, Juliet pretends to be dead so that her family will forget about her (while Romeo doesn't know). Romeo thinks that Juliet dies (although she doesn't) so he drinks poison. Once Juliet finds out that Romeo died, she also kills herself by stabbing herself.

# data[].attributes.body
William Shakespeare loved theater and even was part of theater since he was an actor. When the plague overtook the planet, the theaters were of course closed off temporarily, meaning that he couldn't act in any plays. William Shakespeare got bored without his acting so he decided to write plays himself.

Questions and answers about Romeo and Juliet:

What do you know of Shakespeare's life?

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford upon Avon on St. George's day, April 23rd

1564. He could have a very good education but he couldn't go to university. He got married at the age of eighteen with Anne Hathaway. They had three children, Susanna, Hamnet and Judith. Shakespeare went to London and only there he began to be involved in the theatrical life. The reason of his departure seems to be the fact that he was caught stealing a deer. He wrote many tragedies and comedies, such as Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth.

William Shakespeare was born in England during the XVI century. At that time Queen Elizabeth I drove the country through a great period of richness. We don't know much about Shakespeare's life but nowadays if you go to Stratford you can visit his grave in Holy Trinity Church and enjoy a theatre performance by the Royal Shakespeare Company (this year the RSC is staging "The Complete Works Festival 2006", which is its biggest ever theatrical celebration of Shakespeare's complete works). He wrote many different plays as Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet. His plays were extremely appreciated during his lifetime, which was the age of the Elizabethan Theatre, and so he became very popular in England. Probably his favourite subject in his plays was love, that was the reason why he wrote many works about passionate love.

Romeo was the only son of the Montagues', an important family in Verona who had always been fighting with the Capulets, Juliet's family. Romeo was a dreamer, a romantic boy, he knew much about love's importance during his life, even if he would discover what love really means only that unforgettable evening when he saw Juliet for the first time: it had been love at the first sight. During the play he has to quarrel, to suffer and to die to defend their love: he is the best example of how love's strength can win men's silly fights.

At the beginning of the play Benvolio, Romeo's cousin, told Lord Montague, his uncle, that Romeo was very upset but he didn't know the reason. Later on the guy tried to discover what was wrong with Romeo and he found out that he was in love.

Romeo spent his days locked in his room, crying alone in the fields, thinking of his love. The girl loved by Romeo was Rosaline; unfortunately she didn't love him, so he was desperate. Benvolio tried to help his cousin but he didn't know what to do.

One day a serf of the House of the Capulets met Romeo and Benvolio in the street and asked them to explain to him what was written on a piece of paper his master had given him, as he couldn't read. It was the list of the guests invited to the Capulets' party. Also Rosaline's name was written on it. So Romeo decided to go to the party and wear a mask to hide his real identity and meet Rosaline there.

Romeo was in love with Rosaline, a noble girl who didn't love him. It was just to meet her that he went to the Capulets' party.

Juliet is the daughter of Lord and Lady Capulet. She was thirteen years old. Her father wanted her to marry Paris, a noble gentleman of Verona and friend of the Prince of the city. Her Family was one of the most prominent families of the city.

The Capulets' enemies were the Montagues, members of the second oldest Family of Verona. They had hated each other for many years and it was forbidden to have any relationship between the two Families.

Romeo, Mercutio and Benvolio went to the Capulets' party in the Capulets' House and nobody recognized them except Tybald, the most violent member of the Capulet Family. He wanted to fight with Romeo but fortunately Lord Capulet stopped him. While his friends were enjoying themselves, Romeo met Juliet and forgot Rosaline. Juliet was so beautiful that he couldn't resist and kissed her. Juliet was surprised by that mysterious guy and her nurse later told her that he was Romeo, a Montague. The girl was upset and also Romeo was sad because he knew he couldn't love a Capulet.

What happened when Romeo saw Juliet for the first time?

Romeo saw Juliet for the first time during the party. He went to her and told her that his lips wanted to kiss hers. At the very beginning Juliet was a bit surprised but she couldn't resist any longer: Romeo was very charming and they kissed each other twice. Unfortunately the nurse arrived to take Juliet home and introduced each lover to the other, as they didn't know the partner's identity (they were wearing masks).

Where did Romeo and Juliet meet after the party?

They met in the garden of the Capulets: Juliet was there thinking of her first love. She was conscious that their love would meet many difficulties owing to their parents. Romeo listened to her monologue and then told her that he would always love her. So they decided to get married in a secret way.

The same night, when Romeo, Benvolio and Mercutio left the party, Juliet went to her room and started speaking to the moon. She said she was in love with the wrong person because of their names and their Families. Suddenly she heard a voice: it was Romeo. He hadn't left the Capulets' House and had jumped over the garden wall and arrived under Juliet's balcony. The two lovers promised love to each other and decided to have a secret wedding the following day.

Who agreed to help the two lovers?

Romeo went to Friar Laurence who was in his garden: he was a friend and a teacher of him and agreed to help the two lovers.The monk decided to marry them because he tought that marriage could Caoulets and Montagues make friends. Another person who agreed to help Romeo and Juliet was Juliet's nurse who loved the girl a lot.

What happened when Tybalt arrived and wanted to fight?
Juliet's cousin met Mercutio and wanted to fight with him because he was e friend of Romeo. At the moment Romeo arrived and Tybalt attacked him but the boy didn't want because he had just married his cousin Juliet. Mercutio decided to fight with Tybalt, but unfortunately he was killed. Romeo was very sad and angry, so he murdered him with his sword.

After killing Tybalt, Romeo escaped because the prince of Verona was arriving and was very angry. Benvolio tried to explain to the prince the real events but when Juliet's mother saw her nephew dead, the prince agreed to send Romeo away from the city of Verona and he forbade him to return.

When the nurse told Juliet what happened, she tought that her lover was a villain but she continued loving him, the girl was discouraged and unhappy.

Juliet's parents told her she had to marry Paris but the girl didn't want:her father obligated her! When her parents went out of the room, Juliet went to Friar Laurence for a help but there was Paris, too, who confided to the monk he wanted to marry Juliet because he loved her. Juliet asked Paris to go away: she wanted to speak to the monk alone.Friar Laurence had a plan: the night before the wedding, the girl had to drink a potion and with it could deceive her family because they would have thought she was dead.

Romeo was so disperate that decided to kill himself: he went to Juliet's tomb after having defeated Paris and he poisoned himself.

What did Juliet do after she had woken up?

When Juliet woke up, she saw her lover dead and so she decided to kill really herself:she didn't accept the monk's help and she took a knife and she killed herself.

The prince of Verona was very sad and had a short speech:he said that there were too people dead and that Capulets and Montagues had to become friends...

Finally they agreed to finish hating and lord Capulet and lord Montague shook their hands.
