In the beautiful city of Verona, there lived the
feuding families of the Capulets and Montagues. Capulet and Lady Capulet have
identical twin daughters, named Juliet and Hero while Montague and Lady
Montague also have identical twin sons, named Romeo and Claudio. Four unlucky
children of these enemy families became lovers, Romeo and Juliet, that Hero and
Claudio.
Romeo planned to go to the Capulet’s house, specifically to the balcony near
Juliet and Hero’s room.
As they reached the balcony, they heard the two lovely ladies, Juliet and Hero,
pledging their love for them. Romeo and Claudio came near the balcony. Juliet
and Hero were shocked as they saw the two. Romeo and Claudio told them about
what they have heard a while ago. The four lovers confessed about their
feelings for each other. Romeo to Juliet, and Claudio to Hero. Romeo told
Juliet that he didn't see a girl as beautiful as her while Claudio told Hero
that she is the most beautiful thing that ever happened to him. The maidens
blushed with those sweet words that they've heard.
The next day, Paris went to the Capulet's palace to tell his true feelings and
desire to Juliet. Capulet told the guy that he gives his permission to impress
Juliet but he can't tell if he will be liked by Juliet because it's still
Juliet's decision. He exits.
Paris wait to be sure about his plants with Juliet so he decided to ask a man
to spy on Juliet. He went to Claudius, one of his friends, to command him to
spy on Juliet.
One night, when Claudius was walking alone he saw a man going up to Juliet's
room using the window as entrance. He didn't call for soldiers to capture the
man because he saw Juliet too outside and looks like she's waiting for the man.
He saw the suit of the guy and it is a Montague's suit. He looked a little bit
closer again and he recognized it
and it was Romeo.
Claudius reported what he saw last night. Paris decided to kill Romeo for
blocking his plans about getting Juliet's heart.
In the other kingdom, Romeo told Claudio that this night, Claudio is the one
who will go to the Capulet's palace to meet Hero. They decided to visit the
girls alternately.
Claudio went out to breathe some air and while walking he saw there three
annoying witches. The three annoying witches warned him because this night, he
will be killed by a mistake. Claudio just ignored it but still he is nervous.
Claudio was walking, going to Hero. He felt that there is someone observing and
following him. He ignored it. Then, he felt a knife that passes through his
bone at the back, and he saw it was Claudius.
Hero was about to meet him but when Hero saw him, he was lying on the ground.
The word he said is "Claudius". Hero was crying for help.
Hero ordered Puck, her fairy servant, to give her letter to Romeo. Romeo
received the letter from Hero that Claudio was dead. Romeo was the only one who
knew what happened to his brother, he only told to his parents that Claudio
wants to be alone and live without him and his parents. He also said that
Claudio hope that they will understand him. After three days, the Montagues
accept it and they just pray for Claudio's safety and independence.
Romeo search for Claudius and he asked for a duel. Claudius was surprised
because he thought that it was Romeo whom he killed one night. Romeo put a
poison on his sword. This one is the one he will use to kill Claudius. When
Claudius’ enemies heard about Romeo’s plan to kill him, they decided to
cooperate with Romeo and participate with the plan.
Romeo sent a letter to Claudius asking him to battle with him. Romeo then
prepared everything he needed for their clash. Claudius secretly put poison in
his sword to be sure that Romeo will surely die. Both men went to the place
where Romeo chose for them to battle. They both took off their swords and were
ready to fight. Romeo was about to attack Claudius but Claudius immediately
moved away from Romeo. Romeo was really eager to destroy Claudius because of
what he did to his brother Claudio. Claudius was about to stab Romeo but Romeo
used his sword to prevent Claudius’ sword to touch him but his sword flew away.
Claudius grinned devilishly thinking that he will win the battle. But he was
wrong. Romeo immediately grabbed Claudius’ sword and stabbed Claudius. Before
Claudius died, he vouchsafe Romeo his reason for killing Claudio. He told Romeo
that Claudio is really not his target. Claudius also told that Paris is the
person behind that incident. After Claudius told everything, his enemies went
nearer to him and everyone stabbed him using their own dagger.
After Romeo’s fight with Claudius, he immediately went to Juliet and Hero to
ask about Claudio’s dead body. Hero told Romeo that she told Puck to bring
Claudio’s dead body in Montague’s tomb. The three of them decided to went to
the Montague’s tomb to visit and to say goodbye to Claudio.
On the other side, Paris is celebrating all by himself because he thought that
Romeo is dead already. After a few minutes, his servant spirit, Ariel, told him
a very bad news. Ariel told him that Cladius is dead and he killed a wrong
person. Instead of killing Romeo, Claudius killed Romeo’s twin brother,
Claudio. Paris decided to ask a permission for him to court Juliet . While
Paris is on his way to the Capulets, he encountered Romeo together with Juliet
and Hero unexpectedly. Romeo immediately pulled out his sword and placed it
near Paris’ throat. Paris was so shocked because he doesn’t know that Romeo
knew that he’s the reason behind Claudius death. Romeo then cursed Paris and
stabbed him causing Paris to kneel down and dies.
After that incident, Romeo, Juliet and Hero went to the Montague’s tomb. There
they saw Claudio’s dead body. Hero’s tears immediately fell down on her cheeks.
Hero pulled out Romeo’s sword. She told Romeo and Juliet that she can’t take it
anymore. It’s very hard for her to accept the fact that her love is already
dead. After saying those words, she stabbed herself using Romeo’s sword. Romeo
and Juliet were shocked with what Hero did. Juliet burst out with tears.
Romeo and Juliet lay Hero’s dead body beside Claudio’s. After that, the two
went to King Alonso and ask for help. Romeo and Juliet want to end the feud
between their families. King Alonso sent soldiers to catch the members of the
Capulet and Montague Family.
When the members of each family reached the castle, they were so shocked after
they saw Romeo and Juliet together. King Alonso told them to be quiet and
listen carefully to the two. Romeo and Juliet told the entire story about what
happened to Hero ad Claudio.
After that, the Capulet and Montague end the feud between them. They raised a
golden statue of Hero and Claudio as a symbol for their never ending love.
Two years later, Romeo and Juliet married each other. They also had twin
children. One boy and one girl. The little girl’s name is Miranda while the
little boy’s name is Macbeth. Romeo and Juliet lived happily ever after.
