The characters in the story were figments of William Shakespeare's imagination, or more accurately, the figments of the imagination of the people who had thought up the story which Shakespeare adapted. There really were two families in Italy called the Montecchi and Capelletti, from whom the Montagues and Capulets may have been drawn, since they are referred to in Dante's Divine Comedy. The Romeo and Juliet story is, however, pure fiction.

He continues to act on that assumption even after Capulet points out to him that Romeo is doing nothing of the kind. Paris also assumes that Romeo must be up to no good in visiting Juliet's tomb, just because he's a Montague. Both of these groundless assumptions lead to fighting and death for those doing the assuming.

The two will meet that night at a masquerade ball at the Capulets' house. Romeo and his friends have decided to crash the Capulet ball - in costume - because Rosaline is on the guest list.
