Romeo and Juliet

Today I read Romeo and Juliet, level 3 from Penguin Readers series.
Nobody don't know about the famous love story, written by William Shakespeare. The main characters are Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet. Unfortunately, the two families have been enemies. One day, Romeo and Juliet fell in love at the dance party without recognizing each other. Althogh they think that they mustn't have loved, they loved.  Juliet said, "You're yourself, not a Montague. .... It isn't a hand, or a foot , or an arm, or a face. ...Romeo, throw away that name." I was impressed that Juliet thoght that it wasn't important to protect their names. They want really love and just them.
They got married but they had to decide to separate. In the end, Romeo and Juliet died together because Romeo' s plan to help Juliet wasn't successful. Althogh they couldn't live happily in this world, they could stay together in the future life.

This story tells us not only love but life and death.
