In the play of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ so far, The Capulets and the Montagues have been given a decree: That if they were to disturb the streets of Verona again, than it would be punishable by death. The supreme prince Escalus made this Judgement with severity because of the other Two brawls before this most recent event. Both of the houses obeyed this order.

Little did they know that they were the siblings of the two ancient foes. Romeo was shown as a Knight in shining armour in the Lurhmann version and Juliet was seen as a enchanted goddess which Romeo couldn’t resist. Juliet was wearing White in the Lurhmann version: It symbolised purity and Goodness to all,
