In Romeo and Juliet, there are two main characters. Romeo, an immature son of Montagues family, and Juliet, an only child of the beauty of the Capulet family. Romeo and Juliet is a story about Romeo and Juliet, born into families that are enemies and falling in love with each other, and their tragic death reconciles their families. It is a type of play, and it has been performed most frequently since Shakespeare's time and is still performed today.


The story begins in Verona, a city of passion, showing two families, Montagues and Capulet family that fight endlessly. One day, Romeo, who sneaked into a Capulet party met beautiful Juliet and fell in love at first sight. Romeo and Juliet held a wedding without their parents knowing. The priest who believed that their marriage would bring reconciliation blessed them. However, Romeo, who got into a fight and killed Juliet's cousin, Tybalt, was expelled from Verona. Juliet pretended to be dead from sleeping pills to avoid her parents who forced her to marry her into a good family. Romeo entered Verona unaware of this plan. Romeo sneaked into the grave and was disappointed because he thought Juliet is dead. Romeo thought the world was not worth living without Juliet and drank the poison he brought. Juliet woke up again and stabbed herself with the knife when she saw Romeo was dead. The story finishes with reconciliation of Montagues and Capulet family after seeing Romeo and Juliet's death.

The lines, "If I profane with my unworthiest hand. This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand. To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss." are famous lines of Romeo and Juliet.
