Super Short Summary of R&J

     Romeo is the son of a high class family, and is broken up after his love Rosaline breaks up with him. He and his friends crash the party of a rival family to cheer Romeo up. Romeo falls in love with Juliet, The daughter of the rival family, during a dance. They think they will not be able to marry each other because they come from rival families, so they enlist the help of Friar Laurence. The Friar then weds the lovers in secret. On the day of their wedding, Romeo kills a cousin of Juliet's. The next morning after the marriage, Romeo is forced to flee to another city, and he knows he will never be able to come back. Juliet's family wants her to wed Paris, a young noble. Juliet resists at first but then accepts because she plans to fake her death so she can jon Romeo. Friar Laurence helps carry out this plan. Juliet takes a sleeping potion, and pretends to be dead (in a tomb). Romeo is not informed of the plan because the messenger is killed by the black plague. Romeo visits her grave and kills himself to be with her in her "death". Juliet wakes up sees Romeo's dead body and kills herself to be with him for eternity.
