Feeling
铃铃铃
The play begins with a street brawl between two families: the Montagues
and the Capulets. The Prince of Verona, Escalus, intervenes with his men
and declares that the heads of the two families will be held personally
accountable for any further breach of the peace. Later Count Paris, a
young nobleman talks to Lord Capulet about marrying his
thirteen-year-old daughter Juliet. Capulet demurs citing the girl's
tender age, and invites him to attract the attention of Juliet during a
ball that the family is to hold that night. Juliet's mother tries to
persuade her daughter to accept Paris' courtship during this ball; and
Juliet says that although she will make an effort to love him, she will
not express love that is not there. In this scene Juliet's nurse is
introduced as a talkative and humorous character, who raised Juliet from
infancy.In the meantime, Benvolio queries his cousin Romeo, Lord
Montague's son, to find out the source of his melancholy. He discovers
that it stems from an unrequited love for a girl named Rosaline,
Capulet's niece. Upon the insistence of Benvolio and another friend
Mercutio, Romeo decides to attend the masquerade ball at the Capulet
house in hopes of meeting Rosaline. Alongside his masked friends Romeo
attends the ball as planned, but falls in love with Juliet (forgetting
about Rosaline) and she with him. Despite the danger brought on by their
feuding families, Romeo sneaks into the Capulet courtyard and overhears
Juliet on her balcony vowing her love to him. He makes himself known to
her, and the two declare their love for each other and agree to be
married. With the help of the Franciscan Friar Lawrence, who hopes to
reconcile the two families through their children's union, the two are
married secretly the next day.
