Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy about two star crossed lovers whose love cannot apart them from their two feuding families.

She shouldn’t have acted the way she did to her parents; she knew she was getting engaged with Paris who was a wealthy man, and was happy with getting engaged to him until the night of the ball when Romeo and Juliet first met.

In the play Paris never really loved Juliet, not in the same way Romeo did. Paris never really got to know Juliet, if he did get...
