Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-crossed lovers take their live; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Doth with their death bury their parents' strife. The fearful passage of their death-marked love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. You are young Romeo, the only son of the Montagues, one of the two hostile families in Verona. You're in love with a girl named Rosaline, but your love is not returned - for what reason ever your incredible beauty and your irresistible charm don't appeal to her. So it's not surprising that you are in a bad mood when you walk through the streets of your nice town and reflect on your lovesickness. As you stroll through the streets totally absorbed in your thoughts you meet Benvolio, one of your friends. Quickly you're in a lively discussion with him and you talk about your love for Rosaline. Benvolio has just told you to forget her when a servant crosses your path and asks you to read out a list for him. It's a guest-list for the big feast of the Capulets, the envious family. You read it out to him and he invites you to come if you're not a Montague. Benvolio advises you to go to the feast, he's talking of a girl much prettier then Rosaline he wants to show you. On the one hand you can't forget her, but on the other hand you want to amuse yourself and get rid of your depressions. What do you want to do?
