Romeo and Juliet

William Shakespeare's most famous love tragedy is titled "Romeo and Juliet." This
story is about love and fate. Also, this tragic love story is based on an Old Italian story that
was translated into English in the 1600s. The story is about two young people who fall in love
but can't be together. When they die, their deaths bring their feuding families together.

The first thing we learn from Romeo and Juliet is that love is blind. Romeo and Juliet
were from families with a lot of power. Also, these two families were in a very big fight with
each other. But Romeo and Juliet find each other and fall in love despite all the odds. Most
important, they don't know that they come from different families. Even though there is hate
between their families, they try to be together. Love brings out the best in us, which is
another important lesson. Most important, by the end of the story, Romeo and Juliet had
changed a lot from who they were at the beginning. Before he met Juliet, Romeo was going
through a bad time. Also, Juliet was a sweet girl who was shy. Juliet's parents made her get
married even though she didn't want to. When main characters fell in love, their personalities
changed in good ways. Romeo turns into a very passionate lover, and Juliet grows up to be a
strong woman.

Without love, life is not worth living at all. Later in the story, Romeo finds out that
Juliet, the girl he loved, has died. At this moment, Romeo had a moment that broke his heart.
Then, Romeo gets very upset and drinks poison. But Juliet was still alive, and when she woke
up, she found Romeo dead. After this huge heartbreak, Juliet decides right away to kill
herself. So, both of them thought that life is not worth living without love.
