Fate plays a chief role in the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet belong to feuding families. The family feud causes them to keep their love and marriage a secret, therefore only Romeo, Juliet, Benvolio, Friar Lawrence and the Nurse know of their love. Misinterpretations, misunderstandings, and wrong impressions lead to the death of two young adults and the mourning of two families.
Romeo is a handsome young gentleman from the Montague family. He can sweep any girl off her feet with his charm and good looks. Romeo falls in love with a girl named Rosaline, until the night of the Capulet party.
Juliet is a gorgeous fourteen-year-old young lady from the Capulet family. She is a pretty girl that every gentleman wants, but she is not ready, nor has she even thought of getting married, until her parents bring it up to her and have plans for her to fall in love with Paris.

The Capulet family plans an elegant party that will go on till late in the evening. Benvolio, Mercutio, Romeo and other Montague servants plan to spoil their event.

Tybalt was a hotheaded Capulet, that thought he could beat everyone in a sword fight, which he probably could until Romeo killed him.
Mercutio was a friend of both the Montague and the Capulet’s, but more the Montague’s. He’s around the same age as Romeo, and helps Benvolio crash the Capulet party.
Juliet cries all day because she cannot be with her husband Romeo until the night falls. Then she gets the news that her closed cousin, Tybalt, has been killed. Her parents begin to think Juliet’s crying over the death of her cousin, when she is really crying over Romeo. Her parents plan a wedding for their lovely daughter and Paris, which is what Juliet, doesn’t want, even in the...
