    A short summary of the story

    Romeo and Juliet fall in love at a party. But they come from families which hate each other.
    They are sure they will not be allowed to marry. Nevertheless, helped by Friar Lawrence, they
    marry in secret instead. Unfortunately, before their wedding night Romeo kills Juliet's cousin
    in a duel, and in the morning he is forced to leave her. If he ever returns to the city, he will be
    put to death.

    Juliet's parents told her she must marry Paris. Her parents do not know she is already married.
    She refuses in the beginning, but later agrees because she plans to fake her death and escape
    to be with Romeo forever; again with the help of Friar Lawrence.

    Friar Lawrence designs the plan. He gives Juliet a sleeping potion. She appears to be dead and
    is put in a tomb. However, Romeo does not know about the plan, visits her grave, thinks she is
    dead, and kills himself. When Juliet finally wakes up, she discovers that Romeo is dead and
    then kills herself.
