The story takes place in Verona, Italy, during the fifteenth century. The Montagues and the Capulets are enemies. They have hated each other for a long time__________________________________.

One evening, Romeo Montague and his best friend Mercutio go to a party at the Capulets’ house. They wear masks for no one to recognize them. There Romeo sees Juliet, the most beautiful girl he has ever met. He falls in love with her and learns that she is the daughter of the family’s enemy.

Later that night Romeo climbs the wall to Juliet’s balcony and tells her about his love. He learns that she loves him too. The following day Romeo and Juliet go to Friar (монах) Lawrence____________________. Friar Lawrence hopes that their marriage will help to bring peace to the families.

The day after the wedding Tybalt Capulet starts a fight and kills Romeo’s friend Mercutio. Romeo is so angry and so sad that he kills Tybalt Capulet. The Prince of Verona sends Romeo away from the city and says that _________________,“that hour is his last”.

Juliet is sad to hear that her cousin Tybalt is dead and that it is Romeo who killed him. She has another problem, too. Her parents want her to marry Paris, a man she dislikes. She goes to Friar Lawrence for advice. Friar Lawrence gives her a special kind of poison. “Drink it”, he says. “And you’ll look as if you were dead for twenty-four hours. When they leave your body in the chapel, Romeo can come back_________________________. I’ll send Romeo a message and tell him about our plan.”

But Romeo never gets Friar Lawrence’s message. When Romeo hears that Juliet is dead, he believes it. He can’t live without her so he buys some poison and drinks it in the chapel. He dies near Juliet’s body.
