Juliet and Romeo's young love is strongly opposed by their two families, the Capulets and the Montagues. Their feelings are intensely passionate, but they inevitably meet a tragic fate.
Mercutio is an omniscient character, who sings the overture and guides the meeting of Romeo and Juliet during the party at Capuleti's home. The role of Tybalt is circumscribed to the quarrels among the family clans. He has a scanty character and grazes madness. Lord Capulet's role is expanded. The roles of Lady Capulet and Lady Montague are eliminated.
Juliet dies because of a heartbreak, instead of by the dagger. Friar Lawrence is the character that indirectly decides the fate of Romeo and Juliette driving them during the second act. At the end he will cry over the deaths together with the two fathers.
