Star-Crossed Lovers End In A Tragic Death!

Author: Adriana Osoy
Montague vs. Capulet in the city of Verona, both alike in royalty. Hating each other for historcal reasons. Their two loved children Romeo and Juliet, Montague and Capulet, with a secret passionate love, ended in a tragic death blamed on the rivalry between the two households. Deeper in the story seems as it was a fairytale but the more deeper we get, the more mysterious it seems.
Romeo, who was a victim, was heir of Lady Montague and Montague. As a 16 year old boy, his personality reveals he was a smart, sensitive, somewhat immature and seems to be in the middle of the fued between his family and the Capulets. Of course he isnt interested to get involved with the whole "fight". His close cousin, Benvolio, says "he was once in desperately in love with Rosaline" who is on the side of the Capulets. Benvolio thinks it wasn't "love". Sadly the relationship faded and left Romeo with nothing but tears on his cheeks. Mercutio, a close friend, said he had lots of freedom to go around the city, so Mercutio thought since he had freeedom it would be easy to try and to get him to forget Rosaline and crash the upcoming Capulet party
where he meets the young, and beautiful Juliet.
The next victim was the young and beautiful, 13 year old Juliet. She was the duaghter of the Capulets and didn't have much freedom to go around the city like Romeo did. She was always in the house raised by her nurse. The nurse tells us, " She was very naive and was a bit in shock when her mother asked if her if she has ever thought of marriage or love. Juliet responded that she had very little thoughts about falling in love with someone."
