Introduction: In the city of Verona there are two families that have had some differences in the past. The two families are the Capulets and the Montagues. From ancient grudge the two families have always hated each other. Then Romeo went to a capulet party with some of his friends and there he saw Juliet and he felt like he was in love again. Then Romeo and Juliet got secretly married. Then a tragedy happened Romeo was banned and both of them were sad because they thought they wouldn't see each other anymore. Then Juliet took something that the frior gave her so her family can think she was dead. After that another tragedy happened Romeo actually thought she was dead so he drank poisen then Juliet woke up and saw him dead so then she killed herself for real.



Romeo's profile: Romeo is the son of Lord Montague. He is 16 years old. The thing I know about him is that he likes to take risks because he married Juliet and his family didn’t allow that. His personality is intelligent and sensitive. Benvolio is associated with Romeo because he is Romeo’s cousin and his close friend.

Juliet’s profile:
Juliet is daughter to Lord Capulet. She’s 12 years old. She’s like Romeo she likes to take risks, and her personality is that she use to follow the rules therefore you can call her a good girl until she fell in love with Romeo. When she fell in love with Romeo she broke a rule because she married an enemy. The nurse would associated the most with Juliet, Juliet would tell the nurse everything.

Statements from the Nurse
The nurse was interviewed after the tragedy and she said: "I knew it was a bad idea to let Juliet marry Romeo. I should have never helped Juliet get married with a Montague. It was all my fault that Juliet killed herself just because Romeo was died. Now I regret talking to the frior to get both Romeo and Juliet married."

Statements from Benvolio
Benvolio was interviewed after the tragedy and he said: " Come on Romeo don't worry about Roseline there are other girls. Thats why we should go and crash the Capulets party, it will take your mind off Roseline. I think it was a good thing I took Romeo to the party because he started to like Juliet and forgot about Roseline. Then he thought Juliet was actually died so he killed himself.

Consequences
The Prince was punish them by making them have peace between each other. Who even broke it would be ban like Romeo. The Nurse and the Frior would be the people that would be on trial. The reason is because they were the only people that knew they were married. Also because they help them plan the wedding and the frior got them married. Therefore the Nurse and Frior would be the people I would put on trial.
