I found the story of Romeo and Juliet very romantic. The love between them is so real and they want to do everything to be with each other. But it is sadly that the story has no happy ending.
The part that the suicide took place I found very beautiful, because then the families compensate with each other. Also the scene that Romeo declares his love for Juliet is beautiful.
