 Romeo and Juliet is a play written by the English
playwright William Shakespeare. It was published for
the first time in 1597. Romeo and Juliet is probably the
most famous love story of all time. It is a tragic tale
depicting the forbidden love shared by two young
lovers coming from two feuding families. This short
story by Shirley Jackson was first published in 1948 by
The New Yorker as one of the most famous short
stories in the history of American Literature. It has
been dramatized for both radio and TV and literally
analyzed for its sociological implications.
 Romeo and Juliet Summary
Act I
Romeo and Juliet begins as the Chorus introduces two feuding
families of Verona: the Capulets and the Montagues. On a
hot summer's day, the young men of each faction fight until
the Prince of Verona intercedes and threatens to banish them.
Soon after, the head of the Capulet family plans a feast. His
goal is to introduce his daughter Juliet to a Count named
Paris who seeks to marry Juliet. Montague's son Romeo and
his friends (Benvolio and Mercutio) hear of the party and
resolve to go in disguise. Romeo hopes to see his beloved
Rosaline at the party. Instead, while there, he meets Juliet
and falls instantly in love with her. Juliet’s cousin Tybalt
recognizes the Montague boys and forces them to leave just
as Romeo and Juliet discover one another.
• Act II
• Romeo lingers near the Capulet house to talk with
Juliet when she appears in her window. The pair
declare their love for one another and intend to
marry the next day. With the help of Juliet's
Nurse, the lovers arrange to marry when Juliet
goes for confession at the cell of Friar Laurence.
There, they are secretly married. Parting is such sweet
sorrow that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow

• Act III
• Following the secret marriage, Juliet's cousin Tybalt
sends a challenge to Romeo. Romeo refuses to fight,
which angers his friend Mercutio who then fights with
Tybalt. Mercutio is accidentally killed as Romeo
intervenes to stop the fight. In anger, Romeo pursues
Tybalt, kills him, and is banished by the Prince. Juliet
is anxious when Romeo is late to meet her and learns
of the brawl, Tybalt’s death, and Romeo's banishment.
Friar Laurence arranges for Romeo to spend the night
with Juliet before he leaves for Mantua. Meanwhile,
the Capulet family grieves for Tybalt, so Lord Capulet
moves Juliet's marriage to Paris to the next day.

want to marry Paris, but they don’t know about

• Act IV
• Friar Laurence helps Juliet by providing a sleeping
draught that will make her seem dead. When the
wedding party arrives to greet Juliet the next day,
they believe she is dead. The Friar sent Friar John
to warn Romeo of Juliet's plan and bids him to
come to the Capulet family monument to rescue
his sleeping wife.
• Act V
• The vital message to Romeo doesn't arrive in time because
the plague is in town (so the messenger cannot leave
Verona). Hearing from his servant that Juliet is dead, Romeo
buys poison from an Apothecary in Mantua. He returns to
Verona and goes to the tomb where he surprises and kills the
mourning Paris. Romeo takes his poison and dies, while Juliet
awakens from her drugged coma. She learns what has
happened from Friar Laurence, but she refuses to leave the
tomb and stabs herself. The Friar returns with the Prince, the
Capulets, and Romeo's lately widowed father. The deaths of
their children lead the families to make peace, and they
promise to erect a monument in Romeo and Juliet's memory.
