Summary
We meet our hero, Romeo, after a duel between the young men of two enemy families of Verona: the Montagues and the Capulets. Romeo Mongtague is pining away for Rosaline, a girl we never see. Juliet Capulet, age thirteen, has just heard that Paris, Verona's attractive young bachelor, would like to marry her. 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. Romeo meets Juliet there instead, and they fall madly in love. Afterwards, they discover they are members of rival families, but they are still in love. Romeo stays after the party under Juliet's balcony, and the two use this romantic meeting to plan their marriage. Hasty, but genuine.

What does Romeo ask Balthazar?

How did Juliet die and why?
Well, Juliet, in the play Romeo and Juliet died in a tragic death. You see, Romeo and Juliet's parents and family were in such a great feud that Romeo and Juliet were forbidden from seeing each other. Juliet then pretended to kill herself, and so Romeo saw her and killed HIM self. Juliet woke up from her fake death and saw dead Romeo. So she promptly stabbed herself with his dagger and her cold, dead corpse fell onto his and they died tragically together. So sad... I found that this tragic play was very similar to that of Queen Cleopatra of Egypt and Mark Antony's death.

In Romeo and Juliet why is Romeo sad?
In Romeo And Juliet, Romeo is sad because he cannot be with his true love - Juliet. Romeo and Juliet's families have argued for years, no one knows the true reason because it was such long ago they started. It was basically unheard of for a Capulet(Juliet's family) and a Montauge (Romeo's family). But their love was so strong that they fought for it. Juliet drank a liquid that made her look dead. A note would be sent out to tell Romeo to look in the Capulet tomb so Romeo And Juliet can run off together. Romeo truly thought Juliet was dead. He drank a dagger and killed himself in the tomb. As Juliet awoke, she saw her love dead. So she also killed herself. -If you are talking about the begining, it is because he couldn't be with roseline, but then he got over it when he saw juliet.
