“Romeo and Juliet” is a tragic play written by William Shakespeare in the early 17th century. It tells the story of two young lovers, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, who come from feuding families in the city of Verona, Italy. Here is a brief summary of the play:

Act 1:

  • The play begins with a feud between the Montague and Capulet families, leading to street fights in Verona.
  • Romeo, a Montague, is infatuated with Rosaline, but his life takes a dramatic turn when he attends a Capulet party uninvited and meets Juliet, instantly falling in love with her.
  • Juliet is also captivated by Romeo, but their love is forbidden due to their family’s feud.

Act 2:

  • Romeo and Juliet secretly marry with the help of Friar Laurence, hoping their union will bring peace to their families.
  • Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, challenges Romeo to a duel, but Romeo refuses to fight, leading to Mercutio, Romeo’s friend, being killed by Tybalt. In retaliation, Romeo kills Tybalt and is banished from Verona.

Act 3:

  • Juliet is devastated by Tybalt’s death but hides her grief when her parents arrange for her to marry Paris.
  • To avoid this marriage and be with Romeo, Juliet takes a potion given by Friar Laurence, which makes her appear dead for 42 hours.
