by the Capulet family, and despite the enmity

They marry in secret with the help of Friar
Laurence, but their happiness is short-lived as
a series of tragic events unfolds.

Juliet's cousin, Tybalt, challenges


Romeo to a duel and Romeo kills him. As
punishment, Romeo is banished from Verona.
Meanwhile, Juliet's father arranges for her to
marry another man, Paris, in an attempt to end
the feud between the families. Desperate to
avoid the marriage, Juliet seeks the help of
Friar Laurence, who devises a plan to reunite
her with Romeo.

However, the plan goes awry, and both


Romeo and Juliet end up dead. Romeo
mistakenly believes that Juliet has died and
takes his own life. When Juliet awakens and
finds Romeo dead, she also takes her own life.
