This story starts
with the most fairest maiden of all, Juliet Capulet. She was the only daughter of
a wealthy family in Verona who fell deeply in love with Romeo Montague, who
came from a very poor family. They secretly meet every night under the light of
the moon even though Juliet was already engaged to Brutus of Rome, Julius
Caesar’s heir to the throne. Their never let their parents know about their
relationship for the Capulets strongly believe that they have to protect their
honor and dignity.
One
day, Julius Caesar who came from a different kingdom, went to Verona in search
for new knights to add to his troops. He wanted to take revenge on Macbeth for
killing his brother. Even those who are not of royal blood were required to
join. Since Romeo was one of the strongest in his village, he was chosen to be
part of the alliance against the uprising tyranny of Macbeth. The night before
Julius’ ships leave, Romeo sneaked into Juliet’s garden, just below her balcony.
They exchanged vows and promised not to love another person beside themselves.
The
next morning, the knights were assembled. In the most enormous ship stayed
Julius Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, Mark Antony, Romeo, MONTAGUE, and the other
knights of Verona. The ships sailed heading to the Dunsinane castle where the
tyrant, Macbeth resides. On their third day, an unexpected storm came and
destroyed their peaceful voyage. They ended up on a small island of fairies.
They noticed that this island was destroyed and abandoned so they didn’t fear
whatever the fairies have in store for them. Romeo, who was seeking for help,
encountered a boy named Lysander. He was surprised to see a fairy named Puck
behind the enigmatic boy. Romeo saw it in his eyes that the boy was suffering
from grief. Lysander told Romeo about the tragedy that their kingdom
experienced under the evil hands of Macbeth. Oberon, their king, ruled
peacefully over that kingdom until Macbeth came to destroy everything they had.
Oberon was assassinated and all the other residents were killed from the forest
fire except Hermia, who was held captive. Also, Lysander and Puck survived
because Macbeth’s troops missed them.
Lysander suddenly felt enraged and wanted to take revenge on Macbeth. Romeo
revealed that the purpose of their voyage was to also take revenge on Macbeth
for killing Julius Caesar’s brother, Duncan.
And
so Lysander joined the troops with the permission of Julius after narrating the
story behind the destroyed kingdom. However, they have a big problem: the ships
were totally wrecked. Puck had an idea. He used his abilities to repair and
restore the broken ships. The ships sailed immediately to finally end Macbeth’s
evil reign.
Meanwhile,
Macbeth and Prospero, the thane of Cawdor conversed. Macbeth asked about the
planned ship wreck. On the other hand, Prospero was capable of supernatural
abilities because of Ariel, his powerful servant spirit. He eagerly informed
Macbeth that he was successful in causing the storm for the ships wreck. Suddenly,
Prospero thought out of the blue. He asked, “Your highness, what is the purpose
of all these destructions?” Macbeth answered, “Duncan took my twin and mother
away from me. My father died of grief after. When I grew up, I became the thane
of Glamis, and followed every order King Duncan commands. One day, a battle
between this kingdom and the Norwegians emerged. After the Norwegians have been
defeated, I encountered three witches who told me of some prophecies. They
foresaw that I will become the thane of Cawdor and eventually become the king.
Even before I could go back to the castle, Lennox and Ross, the noblemen told
me that the current thane of Cawdor fought for the Norwegians instead and that
I will become the thane of Cawdor. I told my wife, Lady Macbeth about it and
without a second thought, she convinced me to kill Duncan and so I did. I
poured poison in his ear, without anybody knowing except me and my wife.
Fortunately,
no one knew who the killer was. I became the king afterwards. I was successful
and so I did not waste any time. I destroyed Oberon’s kingdom in search of my
twin and MOTHER, but they weren’t there. Now, people have turned their backs on
me. No one would support me nor follow every command of mine.”
Even
before Julius Caesar’s ships arrive, Puck placed an enchantment on their ship
to make them invisible. When they got there, Puck flew away, heading to the
castle immediately. He went to the sleeping Hamlet, Macbeth’s son, and poured
love’s potion on his eyes. The first person he’ll see when he wakes up will be
the apple of his eye. Then he left in search of Hermia. He found her sleeping
on one of the cells, alone. He woke her up and told her about his plan. The
plan was to make Hamlet fall in love with Hermia and make him betray his own
father. Even though Hermia truly love Lysander, she still agreed to Puck’s
plan. After narrating his plan, Puck went back to Lysander and the troops. He
also told them the plan but Lysander didn’t agree.
Meanwhile, Hermia’s
cell was next to Hamlet’s room so she decided to make a noise to wake Hamlet up
and get his attention. Hamlet woke up and the first person he saw was Hermia
and he immediately fell in love with her. He confessed his love and Hermia took
advantage of the moment. Then she uttered these words “My dear Hamlet if you
truly love me, deny thy father and refuse thy name” and Hamlet said “I take
thee at thy word. Call me but love, and I’ll be new baptized. Henceforth I
never will be Hamlet.” Instantly, Hamlet
opened her cell. They went back to the shore of Scotland to open the gates for
Julius Caesar and his knights. They started invading the kingdom and some
people prepared to set the castle on fire. Knights versus knights, slaves
versus slaves, and the officials went for Macbeth’s head but Prospero and
Macbeth’s knights went on their way. Only Julius was able to reach Macbeth.
Julius and Macbeth finally had the chance to face each other --- without any
help from any other knights. Macbeth knew that that moment would come so he
prepared a poisoned sword for him. The fight started and Julius earned the
first hit. Then Macbeth said, “What did your brother do to my twin and my
mother?” “I have nothing to do with them. My only concern is my brother. How
could you kill a man so noble and kind?” said Julius. “LIES! Your brother
ruined my family and now you’re ruining my castle?” Macbeth shouted, ready to
strike Julius again. Julius then earned a huge wound from this attack and
caused both men to drop their own swords. Meanwhile, the castle started burning
down.
Not knowing which
is which, Julius accidentally took the poisoned sword and got stabbed Macbeth
this time. Before Macbeth fell dead, he realized that Julius took his poisoned
sword. Julius, not satisfied with this, decapitated
Macbeth. Meanwhile, Julius’ men were winning over Macbeth’s followers. When
everyone saw Julius carrying Macbeth’s head, they finished the bloody war and
started leaving before the castle burry them all alive. Julius, on the other hand, felt weaker and
weaker. Not long after, he fell dead while the other officials including
Brutus, Cassius, Mark Antony died as well.
The knights hurried back to their ships and Puck
undid the spell under Hamlet. He was the only man standing after the ships had
left him.
On their way back to
Rome, the knights decided to make Montague their king after Julius Caesar and
everyone else died. Montague, knowing that there was treaty between the
Capulets and Julius Caesar decided Romeo to marry “Capulet’s niece who looks
exactly like Juliet”. Romeo strongly disagreed upon hearing this for he knows
Juliet is still waiting for him but at the end, he knew he can do nothing about
it for Montague told him Juliet was already married.
When the day of the
wedding came, Romeo was still in deep melancholy. He knew that by this, he
would be breaking his promise. The Romans warmly welcomed the Capulets.
Everyone was celebrating for Romeo and the mysterious girl are being wed
together with Hermia and Lysander.
At the altar, Romeo
was secretly hoping that he isn’t supposed to marry a woman besides Juliet. The
door finally opened for his bride to come forth. His heart was pounding as this
lady walked down the aisle. When he was finally face to face with her, he felt
some kind of connection. He lifted her veil and discovered that he already know
the woman. She was the one he have always wanted to marry.
In my own words, love is staying up all night
and spending it by talking to that special someone. It seems like all you want
is to talk to him. It doesn't matter if you talk over nonsense stuffs because
he makes you feel so comfortable. You don't have to be fake and pretend you're someone who you're not really because he appreciates the real you. He would always
tell you you're pretty and that you're super talented. He's your number one
fan. He supports you with whatever you have to do. I don't know. It's sort of
unexplainable. You feel worry-free and safe knowing that you got him. And most
of all, you feel contented and happy whenever you think of him. He is your
inspiration. He gives you millions of reasons to smile even though life gives you
thousands of reasons to frown.
