Romeo and Juliet fall in love at a party. But they come from families which hate each other. They are sure they will not be allowed to marry. Nevertheless, helped by Friar Lawrence, they marry in secret instead. Unfortunately, before their wedding night Romeo kills Juliet's cousin in a duel, and in the morning he is forced to leave her. If he ever returns to the city, he will be sentenced to death.

Juliet's parents told her she must marry Paris. Her

parents do not know she is already married. She

refuses in the beginning, but later agrees

because she plans to fake her death

and escape to be with Romeo

forever; again with the help of

Friar Lawrence.

Friar Lawrence designs the plan.

He gives Juliet a sleeping potion.

She appears to be dead and was

 put in a tomb. However,

Romeo does not know about

the plan, visits her grave,

thinks she is dead, and

kills himself. When Juliet

finally wakes up, she

discovers that Romeo is

dead and then kills

herself.

Tradução

Romeu e Julieta apaixonaram-se numa festa. As famílias de ambos odiavam-se. Eles tinham a certeza que as duas famílias não os deixariam casar. No entanto, ajudados pelo frade Lawrence, eles casaram em segredo. Infelizmente, antes da noite de núpcias, Romeu matou o primo de Julieta, num duelo. De manhã, ele é obrigado a fugir para não ser condenado à morte.

Os pais da Julieta disseram-lhe que ela tinha que casar com o conde Paris. Os pais dela não sabiam que ela já era casada. De início, ela recusou, mas mais tarde concordou, porque planeava simular a sua própria morte e escapar, para ser de Romeu para sempre; uma vez mais com a ajuda do frade Lawrence.
