Everyone in town was guilty of the blood shed during the awful war between the families. Romeo is banished from Verona because he killed Juliet’s cousin Tybalt in a fight.

  The young lovers, Romeo and Juliet, were both unwillingly in the grip of death and of fate. To stop their parents terrible feud, the children die a sad and terrifying death.

Friar Lawrence, a friend of Romeo and Juliet’s, makes a plan for them to leave town and be safe and together.
