Go to Sparknotes.com and you'll find lots of info on this play. Its like the 'cliffnotes' books, but online.
I know teachers don't usually like you looking at 'cheat' notes, but they are a valuble tool if you use them right. With some literature, especially shakeshpere, it really helps to know the general outline of whats going on before you have to try and dive in and decipher all that language. Just make sure you read the book after you get the general info down. After you know the base of the play, it will be easier to decode the language used, and see beyond the basic words to get the inferences (meanings beyond what was said). Start having deeper thoughts and your teachers will be impressed!

Good luck!

ps. warning about user name "ddcapslock": I just caught him using my answer on another question, so I wouldn't be too sure if the answer he gave you was his own original thought. see link: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

yep, all the basic events are there. not meaning or analysis, but events. good summary. :)
best answer please?

Rosaline breaks up with Romeo, not the other way around
It is Capulet's party, not Tybalt's
Romeo doesn't come to the party to ruin it
Romeo and Juliet don't see the friar for "help", they see him to get married.
Romeo only kills Tybalt. Tybalt killed Mercutio

You left out "Lord and Lady Capulet decide that Juliet will marry Paris in two days," and that should bring you up to "Juliet is sad".
