Main content:

Capulet and Montague are two major families in the same city. The two families have a feud and often fight with each other.

The Montague family has a son named Romeo. He is a well-behaved young man who is well liked by everyone.

One day, he heard that a girl he liked was going to the Capulet house for a banquet. In order to see the girl, he and his friends put on masks and sneaked into the Capulet house. banquet hall. However, at this banquet, he was deeply attracted by Juliet, the only daughter of the Capulet family. That night, Juliet was the star of the party, she was as beautiful as a fairy. Romeo stepped forward to express his love to Juliet, and Juliet also had a crush on Romeo. However, neither party knew the other's identity at the time. After the truth is revealed, Romeo still cannot get rid of his love for Juliet. He climbed over the wall into Capulet's orchard, and happened to hear Juliet's voice calling Romeo from the window. Apparently, it was love at first sight.

The next day, Romeo went to see the priest of a nearby monastery and asked for help. The priest agreed to Romeo's request, thinking that if he could succeed, the conflict between the two families could be resolved. Romeo made an appointment with Juliet to the monastery through Juliet's nurse, and they got married under the auspices of the priest. At noon that day, Romeo met Juliet's cousin Tybalt in the street. Tybalt wanted to duel with Romeo. Although Romeo did not want to duel, his friend felt that Romeo was losing face, so he dueled with Tybalt, but Tybalt took the opportunity to kill him. Romeo was furious, drew his sword to avenge his friend, and killed Tybalt. The ruler of the city decided to expel Romeo, ordering him to be killed if he dared to return. Juliet was very sad, she loved Romeo very much. Romeo didn't want to leave, but after the priest's persuasion, he agreed to leave temporarily. That night, he secretly climbed into Juliet's bedroom and spent their wedding night.

At dawn the next day, Romeo had to start his exile. As soon as Romeo left, the noble Count Paris came to propose marriage. Capulet was very satisfied and ordered Juliet to get married next Thursday. Juliet went to the priest to find a solution. The priest gave her a medicine that would make her feel dead after taking it, but she would wake up after forty-two hours. The priest promised her that he would send someone to call Romeo, and he would soon dig the grave and let her and Romeo fly away. Juliet followed the plan and took the medicine the night before the wedding. The wedding naturally turned into a funeral the next day. The priest immediately sent someone to inform Romeo. However, Romeo already knew the news before the priest's messenger arrived. He came to Juliet's tomb in the middle of the night, killed Count Paris who blocked him, and dug up the tomb. After kissing Juliet, he took out the poison he brought with him and drank it in one gulp, and fell next to Juliet. Die. When the priest arrived, Romeo and Paris were already dead. At this time, Juliet also woke up. There were more and more people, and the priest ran away before he could take care of Juliet. When Juliet saw the dead Romeo, she didn't want to live alone. She didn't find the poison, so she pulled out Romeo's sword and stabbed herself, falling on Romeo and dying. The parents of both families came and the priest told them the story of Romeo and Juliet. After losing their children, the parents of both families came to their senses, but it was already too late.

Since then, the two families have eliminated their grudges and built a gold statue of Romeo and Juliet in the city.

This love story, which was transformed by the great Shakespeare in the form of comedy more than four hundred years ago, is to a certain extent a love epic rich in humanistic spirit. It has been a favorite among people for hundreds of years. In Shakespeare's writings, love transcends everything. It can even transcend family background, status, and family prejudice. These are things that ordinary British people still value today.

Of course, Shakespeare's handling of the age issue of the heroes and heroines in the play is also surprising. Perhaps people more than a hundred years ago still didn't understand why love came to a pair of underage men and women so early, and was so strong that the lovers could put aside their own lives and deaths. After all, Juliet had just turned fourteen when she first fell in love. But now, people no longer have the same concept as before. When people see the trend of younger and younger people falling in love approaching us step by step, people have to admire Shakespeare's ability to foresee, no matter if it is now fourteen or five years old, Men and women of all ages, what they are experiencing is not love.

The end of the play is the most exciting part of the play. This pair of loving men and women both lost their lives due to misunderstanding. This scene once silenced the audience in the city theater of the Victorian era more than 400 years ago, but today, such an ending is no longer strange to people today. In fact, they lost their lives because of love rather than misunderstanding. There is no need to feel sorry for this.
