This tragic play is composed by one of the stalwarts of writers, William Shakespeare, about two "star-crossed lovers" whose deaths, at last, join their fighting families.In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare utilizes a few sensational strategies that have earned acclaim from critics; outstandingly the sudden turn from comedy to tragedy.The Montagues and the Capulets, Verona's two quarrelling honourable houses, are continually fighting and therefore the Prince of Verona gives a decree that will force a capital punishment on anybody found dueling. Romeo, a Montague is charmed by Rosaline, a niece of Capulet. Rosaline is immediately forgotten when Romeo and his companions mask themselves and slip into a masque ball at Capulet's home. During the ball, Romeo gets his first look at Juliet, Capulet's daughter.

As revenge, Romeo rather kills Tybalt. Romeo is banished from Verona for disregarding the prince's order. However, he consummates his marriage to Juliet.While Romeo is away, the Capulets unknown about Juliet's marriage decide to get her married to Paris who is the prince's cousin.
