Romeo and Juliet:
William Shakespeare's tragic tale of love and death goes like this: Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, of the houses of Montague and Capulet, are sworn enemies!. The opening scene finds Samson, Tybalt, and gregory (of the Capulet family), quarreling with Balthasar, Abraham, and Benvlio (of the Montague family)!. This turns into a full-out brawl, which disturbs the citizens, and brings the prince in to yell at them!. Later that night, Romeo and Juliet meet at a party in the Capulet mansion, and instantly fall in love!. Later that night they meet in the Capulet's orchard, and plan to be married the next morning!. Their union is made, but soon ruined, as Romeo slays Tybalt, and is banished from Verona!. After he leaves, Juliet learns she is to marry Paris (as no one around them knew they were married)!. She is devestated, and her and the Friar form a plan!. But, as in a classic tragedy, everything goes wrong, and they both end up killing themselves!.

Macbeth and his wife hatch a plot to kill the king under their own roof and frame the guards outside the king's bedroom for the murder!. Although Macbeth has misgivings about killing the king, his wife convinces him that it is the thing to do!. Macbeth kills Duncan with his wife's help, but he is plagued with guilt for the crime!.

When Duncan's murdered body is discovered, Macbeth immediately kills the accused guards so that he can cover his tracks!. Duncan's sons, Malcolm and Donalbain, flee Macbeth's castle in fear for their lives, and they are suspected of bribing the guards to kill their father!.

Macbeth assumes the Scottish throne!. In order to secure the throne for his descendants, he must kill Banquo, the other army general, and Banquo's son because the witches' told Macbeth that Banquo's descendants would have the throne after Macbeth!.

Shortly after Banquo is killed on his way to a banquet at Macbeth's palace, Macbeth is haunted by Banquo's ghost!. In the middle of the banquet he sees the ghost of the murdered man there and he makes a scene in front of the Scottish lords who are at the banquet!. This outburst makes the lords suspicious although Lady Macbeth tries to play it off as just an illness that Macbeth has!.

Meanwhile, Macduff, a Scottish noble who suspects that Macbeth murdered Duncan, goes to England to get help to reclaim the throne!.

Macbeth goes to see the witches again to learn his fate!. They tell him to beware Macduff; that he will not be defeated until Birnam wood moves to Dunsinane; and that Macbeth will not be killed by someone born of a woman!. Macbeth takes all of these signs to mean that he is invincible!.

In England Macduff and Malcolm, the rightful heir, ban together to fight Macbeth!. When Macbeth learns of Macduff's treachery, he sends murderers to Macduff's home to kill his wife and children!. When Macduff hears of this, his resolve to kill Macbeth grows even stronger!.

With ten thousand English troops they go to fight Macbeth!. Macbeth is unafraid until he learns that the troops have camouflaged themselves with wood from the Birnam forest and are moving toward Dunsinane!. When Macbeth comes face to face with Macduff he learns that Macduff was removed from his mother's womb, and was, thus, never born!. Macduff kills Macbeth and Malcolm is returned to the throne!.
