Romeo and Juliet (William Shakespeare)

What could be worse than falling in love with your enemy? Romeo Montague thinks heâ€™s in love until he meets Juliet, the daughter of the Capulets. With her, he discovers what true love really feels like. But their two families are bitter rivals, and no one must know about their secret passion. When Romeo kills Julietâ€™s cousin in a duel, their hope of happiness seems ended. Can Friar Laurence reconcile the two families, or will his plans bring even more tragedy?
