Romeo and Juliet Plot Summaries

Act I......Scene 1:One morning in Verona, two young servants of Capulet, Sampson and Gregory are joking around with each other with puns and friendly teasing. Suddenly they are confronted by Abraham and Balthasar, two servants of Montague. The mild joking and humor soon turn bitter, aggressive, and dangerous between the foes. It is not long before a fight inevitably breaks out. Benvolio, the nephew of Montague comes in and tries breaks it up, but ends up fighting with the hot-tempered Tybalt, and a riot erupts. The prince of Verona, Escalus, joined by the Capulets and Montagues, enters and stops the havoc. He warns everybody if another fight should break out because of this ancient blood feud, then they would pay with their life. Afterwards the Montagues speak with Benvolio about Romeo. Romeo follows his parents' exit with an entrance and talks with Benvolio about his love life. He is feeling depressed because of love sickness for a girl named Rosaline (a girl that he cannot have for she refuses to get together with anyone).(SPACE)Scene 2:That afternoon, Paris works on his hopes for a marriage to Juliet. He speaks to Capulet and tries to arrange a deal with him for Juliet's hand. Although Capulet respects Paris, he is still unsure


That night, in the churchyard of Verona, Romeo, accompanied by Balthasar, goes to put flowers on Juliet's grave and to pay respects to his loved one. Ironically and unbeknownst to Romeo, Paris is arriving at exactly the same time for the exact same thing. Romeo tells Balthasar to say away so he can have a moment alone with Juliet. Balthasar walks away, but stays hidden close by to monitor Romeo's actions, fearing of what he may intend to do. Romeo begins opening the tomb, when Paris arrives. Paris knows that Romeo is a Montague, and believes that by slaying Tybalt, he is responsible for the grief, and eventually, the death of Juliet. He challenges Romeo, and they fight. Romeo kills Paris, but grants him his final wish by placing his body in the tomb beside Juliet. Romeo seeks forgiveness for his actions, declares his undying love for Juliet, drinks the potion, and dies. Friar Laurence arrives too late, and sees blood on the tomb and Romeo's body. Just then, Juliet awakes from her sleep, but upon finding Romeo dead, she decides to commit suicide. The Watch, alerted by Paris' Page, informs the town to the tragedy in the tomb. The Prince and the Capulets arrive first and are shocked at the horror which has recently taken place. Then Montague arrives and informs everyone that his wife had died over Romeo's exile. Friar Laurence explains the whole story to the Prince and how it led up to all the deaths. The Prince is given Romeo's letter to his father by Balthasar, and he makes his final statement on the events which took place during this entire ordeal. The feud between the Montagues and the Capulets has finally ended.

, and ultimately, no agreement is reached. Paris is invited to a ball, which Romeo and Benvolio find out about from Capulet's illiterate servant who asks Romeo to read the ball invitation for him. Benvolio convinces Romeo to go to this ball with the intent to show his friend that there are many girls better than Rosaline, and thus lift him out of his depression.(SPACE)Scene 3:At the Capulet house that evening, the Nurse and Lady Capulet speak to Juliet about her marriage and her duties and responsibilities as a wife and mother. Lady Capulet persists that Paris would make an excellent husband, but Juliet does not seem to like the fact that her mother is so forcefully persuasive on the topic. The conversation ends when a servant arrives and announces that the ball is about to begin.(SPACE)Scene 4:Romeo and his friends head to the Capulet's ball in a masked procession full of people in costumes and musicians carrying torches. Upon arrival, Romeo still feels melancholy, and he is not in the mood for a party. This leads to an argument about love between Romeo and his friend Mercutio, and many allusions to Cupid are made. At last, Mercution convinces Romeo to keep his spirits up, and not to spoil the evening for the other members of the Montague group. Romeo agrees to continue on with the party, yet he cannot help but fell that his whole life will somehow be forever shaped by this night.(SPACE)Scene 5:This scene takes place in the hall of Capulet's house. Capulet, being a good host, tells everybody to have a good time, and to join in on the dancing and music. Capulet discusses a previous masque with a friend, when Romeo enters. He soon sees Juliet, and he is astounded at her beauty. He forgets all his feelings of despair in depression as he falls in love at first sight. Tybalt, however, is attending the ball as well, and he recognizes Romeo. Furious, he informs Capulet of this and threatens to the Montague. However, Capulet does not want his evening ruined and orders Tybalt to stay put. Saying nothing, Tybalt exits the party. Shortly after, Romeo and Juliet meet and fall deeply in love with each other. The Nurse tells them who each other are. (SPACE)Act II: Scene 1:Romeo at this time wants to be alone, and he hides wit
