It makes all the difference in the world, because both families hate each other bitterly. For a time, Romeo and Juliet manage to keep their love secret. But when Romeo is sent away from Verona, and arrangements are made for Juliet to marry Paris, a friend of her father's, hope begins to die. Can any of their friends help the young lovers to be together for ever?

Romeo and Juliet is a famous drama written by William Shakespeare. The main characters are Romeo and Juliet, as the title says. They are in love but their families, the Montague and the Capulet, hate each other so they marry secretly. After their marriage, there is a fight between two men from the Montague and the Capulet. Then a man of the Capulet kills Romeo's friend. So he gets really angry and kills the man. After this fight, Romeo is ordered to leave the town. After hearing this terrible news, Juliet asks Father Lawrence, a priest, for help. He makes a plan so Romeo and Juliet can meet again but it was very difficult and dangerous. Eventually the plan is failed and the story ends with the death of Romeo and Juliet.
  I had heard of the title, Romeo and Juliet but I did not know about the content of the story at all. The image in my head, this drama had a happy ending but in fact, it is a tragic drama and the story left me with a bad feeling. It was very surprising to me that the story had such a taste in the ending.
