In a short summary:
Romeo Montesco and Juliet Capuleto are two young women that there belong to two families rivals, that they hate and live in constant
conflict. This history counts the frustrated love of these prominent figures who were furtively due to the hatred that existia between his
families and that should never approve this engagement. The rivalry of these families unleashed the death of them that, for love, they
did up to the impossible thing for being united. After the death of Romeo and Juliet, these families decide to finish with this one it
In my opinion:
Romeo and Juliet have represented rebellion for following desire and passion, disregarding ordinances and advice in an Italian society
with very strict regimes at that time. This story tells a forbidden love that clings to everything including death in a very shocking novel
that is beautifully narrated with a tragic event and unfortunately a sad ending that gives an example of how far people go through love
and rivalries.
