Romeo was in love with Juliet, but he was forced to marry someone else. Juliet faked her death so that she wouldn't have to marry and could get back to Romeo. When Romeo found out that Juliet was dead, he visited her and broke up with her. Juliet woke up and then scolded him; she had hoped that Romeo would drink poison when he found out she was dead, and when Juliet later woke up, she would find out that he was dead and push a sword into her own heart.
