Romeo and Juliet’s false true love Romeo and Juliet is the story of two young star-crossed lovers who come from families who for decades have had a rivalry. Romeo and Juliet are the two young lovers who had an instant attraction after they first met. The two hastily get married but are separated after tragedy strikes.

They do not know enough about being mature to fully be able to have true love.
