Romeo and Juliet (Act 1, Scene 1)

Now that I am able to understand the story, Romeo and Juliet, I really like it. Of course, I've heard about the story by seeing allusions from other books and movies, and even saw the end of a modern version of Romeo  and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio. All I knew was that there were two people in love, and they both ended up dying.

I like scene 1, because it introduces the story through a dialogue between two Capulets (family of Juliet) that despise the Montague family of Romeo. It is clear that there is a fierce rivalry between the two families. Only after a street fight brawl do we hear about Romeo. But Romeo is not in love with Juliet yet, he is in love with a girl named Rosaline. She does not love Romeo back, which causes him to wander alone in the woods, depressed. Benvolio, Romeo's cousin, is trying to make Romeo forget about Rosaline and observe "other beauties". So far, we have not heard of Juliet.
