Romeo and Juliet Summary

A group of masked Montagues risk further conflict by gatecrashing a Capulet party. A young lovesick Romeo Montague falls instantly in love with Juliet Capulet, who is due to marry her father’s choice, the County Paris. With the help of Juliet’s nurse, the women arrange for the couple to marry the next day, but Romeo’s attempt to halt a street fight leads to the death of Juliet’s own cousin, Tybalt, for which Romeo is banished. In a desperate attempt to be reunited with Romeo, Juliet follows the Friar’s plot and fakes her own death. The message fails to reach Romeo, and believing Juliet dead, he takes his life in her tomb. Juliet wakes to find Romeo’s corpse beside her and kills herself.

This book impressed me because of it's tragic love story. The main characters were very brave and special. They inspired me a lot because they didn't care from what families they came, they didn't care about other's opinions, everything that mattered for them was love. I think the story from this book is an example of a true love, and it was interesting, but I just don't like the tragic and sad end of the story.

I can say that it is a moving tale

that will touch your soul.

Why do I recommend it

This book has an unpredictable story, so I recommend to read it because it will shows you what is true love, you will understand many things and Shakerpeare's books I think must read every man, this books are a piece of art, just begin with the classic love and tragic story about Romeo and Juliet.
