The greatest love story!

Romeo and Juliet

In class, we have been reading Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.
This book is all about two teenagers who fall in love from two rival families.
At school, we have been writing character descriptions and setting the scene of Verona, Italy where this play is set. Later on in the story, we find that the two young lovers are willing to die for each other as when Romeo gets banned from Verona, Juliet takes a sleeping potion and fakes her death, Romeo comes and takes poison just to be with her. When she realises Friar Lawrence’s plan failed, which was to send a letter to Romeo to explain everything and sneak Juliet out of Verona, she feels the need to use Romeo’s dagger and take her life as well. I think this is a great story and should be shared with more people as well.
