Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare: Full Play Scene Summaries 2024

ACT 1


Act 1, Scene 1:
The scene begins with Capulet workers Sampson and Gregory bantering as friends when
Abram and another servingman from the house of Montague enter. Sampson and Gregory
immediately assume the worst because of the ancient feud between the Montagues and Capulets.
Sampson decides to instigate a fight that is not broken up until Benvolio, of the house of
Montague, enters to stop them. However, his efforts are quickly overturned when Tybalt enters,
immediately drawing his sword with hostility toward Benvolio. He starts another fight, and the
citizens of Verona join in the chaos. Eventually, Lords Capulet and Montague enter, very
aggressive. The prince enters soon after and breaks up the mayhem, warning the families that
they will be banished if they ever disturb the peace again. Afterward, Lord and Lady Montague
are concerned about Romeo’s mental state, and tell Benvolio about this. Benvolio tries to implore
Romeo about why he’s feeling this way and eventually, Romeo tells him he has unrequited love
for a woman named Rosaline. Benvolio promises he will help him forget about Rosaline and find
someone more beautiful to love.


Act 1, Scene 2:
The scene begins with a conversation between Lord Capulet and Paris. Capulet predicts it
shouldn’t be too hard for him and old Montague to keep the peace and avoid banishment. Paris
remarks that it’s a pity the two families have been fighting for so long. He then asks the Lord
what he thinks of him marrying his daughter Juliet. Capulet says that Juliet is too young to
marry, being only fourteen years old. Paris disagrees, and Capulet suggests that Paris try to win
her over at his party tonight and that he wants his daughter to be in love with Paris if they do
marry. Capulet then sends a servingman to distribute invitations to his friends, but the servant
