Shakespeare

Hello. My name is Shunsuke Igarasi. I would like to post about the summary of Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet is one of the plays written by Shakespeare. The setting is Italian city, Verona in the 14th century. Romeo is a member of Montagues family and Juliet is a member of Capulets family. Both of families have negative relationships, but one day, Romeo and Juliet get in love. After that, they get married secretly, but their married life doesn’t last for a long time because there was manslaughter connected with both of families. Romeo lost his friend, Mercutio. Then Romeo would revenge and kill Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin. Romeo treads the path of exile, but he and Juliet want to be together, so they make a plan, Juliet’s death. However, they couldn’t manage to communicate each other, so Romeo misunderstands Juliet’s stating of apparent death. Then Romeo kills himself by taking poison. After Juliet woke up from false sleep, she found Romeo’s death. Then she also kills herself by Romeo’s sword.

This story is a kind of tragedy plays, but this also means real love. They really showed their love for each other, not being undaunted by family’s problems. It’s poor, but being together is very happy for them even if they all died. Thank you.
