Everything for love! Two young people were found dead this week in front of the church in
Verona,Italy. The girl named Juliet was only 14 years old and the boy called Romeo was 17 years
old. They both commit suicide. That was a real tragedy!
THE BEGINNING OF THE STORY
According to the stories of relatives and friends
everything begins with a party at the Capulets. A
group of Montagues (included Romeo) cat into,
despite the rivalry between the two families. It
seems that they met there and they immediately
fell in love.Their tragic story begins at this point.
THE RIVALRY
The rivalry becomes much stronger when two
gangs belonging to the two families face each
other and Tybalt, Juliet's cousin, kills Mercutio,
Romeo's best friend. For revenge Romeo kills
Tybald, and after the trial he is exiled to Mantua,
but the night before the exile they secretely got
married.
TWO VERSIONS OF THE STORY
At this point, the facts aren't very clear but
according to some people she killed herself
because of Romeo's absence, others claim that
she wanted to appear dead so she wouldn't get
married with a man that her parents wanted her to
marry. More probable is the second story, in fact
Romeo thinking that Juliet was dead killed
himself. Juliet, seeing him dead commits suicide.
Suspected like probable guilties the families of
the two young people.
A neighbour of the Capulets' says:
'' In this way the rivalry between the two families
could finally end!''
Benvolio,Romeo's cousin says:
'' It's all my fault, I shouldn't have told Romeo
that Juliet was dead!''
A friend of Juliet's crying says:
'' I didn't know that they loved each other so
much, it's not fair that the rivalry between the
two families prevented their love!''
