About Repercussion

Spain: the raging feud between the once gypsy brothers, the Montagues and the Capulets continues.  Romeo, a Montague, recruits his friends Benvolio and Mercutio to crash the engagement celebration of Capulet daughter Juliet to Paris.  Romeo sees Juliet for the first time, and their love is born.  They are married in secret with the help of Friar Lawrence and Juliet's Nurse.  Tybalt, Juliet's cousin, taunts Romeo, who refuses to fight.  Mercutio fights Tybalt, and is killed in the duel.  Enraged, Romeo kills Tybalt.  The Queen banishes Romeo for the murder.  Romeo escapes to La Mancha, and on learning that she will be forced to marry Paris, Juliet takes a potion that causes her to appear dead.  Romeo's friend Balthazar mistakenly informs Romeo that Juliet has died and he rushes to Juliet's tomb to die beside his love.  He is confronted by Paris, who is killed by Romeo in the ensuing duel.  Romeo kills himself, seconds before Juliet awakens, and when she awakes to find Romeo dead beside her, she too commits suicide.  Over the corpses of their children, Capulet and Montague agree to end their feud.
