Title: Romeo & Juliet Before Paragraph

I don't know much about Romeo and Juliet, and I am kind of excited to learn about it. What I do know is that in the end Romeo kills himseld for Juliet. She wasn't really dead, he just thought she was, so when she woke up and saw him dead she also killed herself. That all happened because of the father who didn't want them to be together. I think it is just messed up that the father wouldn't let love be love.

1. Why did Romeo think Juliet was dead?
2. Why didnt't the father let them be thogether?
3. When did this all take place?
