Lies In Romeo And Juliet

The story is a so-called love story, but this love is built of lies and many unfortunate events. Romeo and Juliet is a popular story by William Shakespeare, based in Verona, Italy. Two lovers that are forbidden because of decades of family hatred. Romeo and Juliet constantly defy authority in this story. Romeo is constantly very nice and respectful, and knows not to hang around the Capulet family. When he hears his current fascination, Rosalin will be at the Capulet party. Romeo says “I’ll go along no such sight to be shown, But to rejoice in the splendor of mine own”(1.2.5.). He said that to his best friend Marcuoso and cousin Benvolio.
