Romeo and Juliet
Name: Romeo and Juliet
Author: William Shakespeare
Summary: Romeo and Juliet is about two teenagers who fall in love but at a price. The Capulets and the Montagues have been fighting for as long as they can remember but no one really knows why. One day when Abraham (a Montague) came over to the Capulet house and met two servants called Sampson and Gregory, the two Capulet servants were not impressed and a fight broke out between them. Benvolio (a Montague) tried to stop the fighting servants but it didn't work. The fight quickly took to the streets were even more Montagues and Capulets joined in. The Prince quickly came onto the scene, he stopped the fighting and said that if there fighting ever disturbs the streets of Verona lord Capulet and lord Montague lives shall pay for the peace. Soon after we met Romeo who seems in his know world at times with sadness as he has unrequited love for Rosaline. But while he was in the streets he met a clown from the Capulet house who asked him to read list of names for a party the Capulets are having. Romeo, Benvolio and Mercutio decide to go to the party even though they are Montagues. But Romeo only wanted to because Rosaline will be there. When they went to the party Tybalt recognizes Romeos voice and wants to fight him for being at the Capulets house but lord Capulet demands him not to as he knows what will happened if the Prince finds out. At the party Romeo sees Juliet for the first time and eminently gets draw in by her beauty and forgets Rosaline. At the end of the party Romeo and Juliet talk and Romeo steels a kiss from Juliet. Juliet quick finds out he is a Montague and feels a bit awkward. Later that night Romeo talks to Juliet on her Balcony; they agree to get married the next day in secret. The next day Romeo and Juliet get married by Friar Lawrence.
Soon after when Romeo, Mercutio and Benvolio were on the streets of Verona they met Tybalt who was still raging because they came to a Capulet party. Tybalt want to fight Romeo but Romeo said no and so Mercutio fought Tybalt instead. The fight became viscous so Romeo quickly stepped in to stop them but Tybalt managed to stick the sword under Romeos arm and stab Mercutio which was the end of poor Mercutio. But Tybalt still wanted to fight Romeo. Romeo anger raged up in side him so he fought Tybalt. Romeo killed Tybalt. The Prince came and banished Romeo for killing Tybalt. The Nurse (a Capulet) saw the whole thing as she was out fetching a rope so Romeo could climb up into Juliet's bedroom. She came home crying saying that Tybalt was dead and Romeo had killed him at first Juliet thought how dare Romeo kill one of his own relations but they quickly changed to if it wasn't Tybalt it would have been Romeo and that he is her husband and she must stand up for him.
The next morning after Romeo and Juliet had spent the night together it has time for Romeo to leave Verona and live in Mantua. That morning lady Capulet came up to Juliet to say that she was going to get married to Paris (a kingsman of the Prince). She wasn't pleased having to get married to Paris as she was already married to Romeo. So she went to Friar Lawrence who had a plan that he would give a potion to her that would put her to sleep for two days and it would look like she was dead to everybody around her. He would also send a letter to Romeo to tell him about the plan and they would be there when she would wake up. That night Juliet took the potion and the next day instead of having her wedding her family were having her funeral. The letter did not reach Romeo as Balthazar told Romeo that Juliet was dead. Romeo bought a lethal poison so when he got to Juliet's tomb he could kill himself. Romeo than headed off for Juliet's tomb but got stopped by Paris and they fought but Paris died. He dragged Paris's body into the tomb where he smashed open Juliet's grave, kissed her and drunk the poison. Friar Lawrence quickly came onto the scene where he was gob smacked at what happened. Juliet soon woke up to a horrible scene but the noise of people running towards the tomb. Friar Lawrence raced out of the tomb. Immediately after he left Juliet got Romeo's dagger and stab herself.
The watchman caught Friar Lawrence where he told them the whole story even about Romeo and Juliet getting married. The deaths seemed to have stopped the feuding between the two families but who knows.
My favorite character was Juliet because she seemed very smart and mature for her age and when she was talking about Romeo to her family she would neither say she hated him or loved him.
My least favorite character was Tybalt as he was full of anger and he always want to get back at people he couldn't forgive and forget
I would give this book a 10/10
