Romeo for crashing the Capulets party so he startet a fight with his friends. Romeo showed up, but did not want to fight Tybalt because he
no longer held a grudge against Juliets family. Romeos friends couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t stand up for himself so Mercutio stepped
in to do it for him. A swordfight with Tybalt followed. Mercutio was killed. To avenge the death of his friend, Romeo killed Tybalt, an act that would award
him even more hatred from the Capulet family. The Prince of Verona banished Romeo and he was forced to leave Juliet, who was devastated by the loss of her love. Juliets
father, not knowing of his daughters marriage, decided to marry her to another young man named Paris.
In despair, Juliet consulted with Friar Laurence. He advised her to agree to the marriage, but on the morning of the wedding, she would drink a potion that he
prepared for her. The potion would make it look like Juliet was dead and she would be put into the Capulet burial vault. Then, the Friar would send Romeo to rescue her. She
did as the Friar said and was put into the vault by her heartbroken parents.
Bad news travels fast. Before the Friar could tell Romeo of the hoax, Romeo heard from someone else that his beloved Juliet was dead. Overcame with grief,
Romeo bought a poison and went to Juliets tomb to die beside his wife. At the door of the tomb, Romeo was forced to fight Paris, whom he swiftly killed. Nothing would stop
him from joining his love. Inside the vault, Romeo drank the poison and took his last breath next to his sleeping wife.
Moments later, Juliet awakened to see her husbands dead body. She learned what had happened from Friar Laurence who had
just arrived. With no reason left to live, Juliet killed herself with Romeos dagger. The tragedy had a tremendous impact on both the
Montagues and the Capulets. The families were hurt so much by the death of their children that they agreed to never fight again.
