Romeo, Juliet, and Paris are found dead shortly thereafter by a squire, who runs off to alert others. As word spreads throughout Verona about the deaths, the two feuding families (except Lady Montague, who had died of grief for her son) and the Prince converge upon the tomb. They are horrified to find Romeo, Juliet, and Paris all lying dead, and Friar Lawrence (who has hurried to the crypt but is too late to prevent the tragedy) reveals to them the love and secret marriage of Romeo and Juliet. The feuding families are reconciled by their children's deaths and agree to end their violent feud, as explained by the prologue. The play ends with the Prince saying, "A glooming peace this morning with it brings; The sun for sorrow will not show his head. Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished; For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo."

1) Romeo and Juliet is set in Italy in the 17th century, WSS is set in new York City in the 20th century;\n2) The two lovers (Romeo & Juliet) both die; in WSS, Maria survives to accuse society (providing a neat sum-up for the audience);\n3) In WSS, there's a lot more singing and dancing;\n4) The function of Friar Lawrence from R&J is fulfilled in WSS by Doc, the drugstore owner, except that he doesn't marry the lovers, and he provides no theatrically-convenient "sleeping potion."\nThe mechanics of the stories (as well as the theme of the pointlessness of feuds) are essentially the same.

Personally, I think that Friar Lawrence was trying to set up a sexual encounter with Juliet.  Sort of like a medieval version of trolling for teenaged girls on chat lines.  Lucky thing the letter never got through.  A reporter from Dateline NBC might have been waiting for him.

Juliet comes out (not knowing that Romeo is watching) and wonders why he has to be a Montague, and that she would love him just as much if he was named something else. She says she loves him, at which Romeo announces his presence, and Juliet basically says that she's not a tramp because of what she said. Then Romeo says he loves her and wants her to say she loves him. Then he leaves. I probably left something out, but that's my best answer.

I give that assignment to my students. :-D\n\nOne of the best ones I saw had a gameboard with a path to follow. The tokens were cutouts with pictures of Romeo and Juliet (printed off the internet, I assume). They were pasted on cardboard and put in another piece of cardboard to stand. He also used dice and a set of cards with instructions. An example of one card he used: "'Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow!' (Act II, Scene 2) For parting with your love, go back 2 spaces." You'll need to come up with the rules of the game yourself, but you probably want a simple objective (i.e. make it around the board once, collect certain objects like poison and dagger, reunite Romeo and Juliet, etc.). It's all up to you and your creativity.

opposites attract and love is blind. no matter the drama between the capulets and the montagues, romeo and juliet found each other regardless.

Notable is Iambic Pentameter- each line has 10 syllables, with emphasis on every other one.  Also, his dialogue is witty, full of double meaning and puns, and rapid fire:\nHere's the opening of Romeo and Juliet:\n  Sam.  Gregory, o’ my word, we’ll not carry coals. \n  Gre.  No. for then we should be colliers.   4\n  Sam.  I mean, an we be in choler, we’ll draw. \n  Gre.  Ay, while you live, draw your neck out o’ the collar. \n \nLots of wordplay.\n\nAlso, obviously, he wrote in Elizabethan english.

She is young girl of fourteen and obviously Capulet's pride and joy. The father says of Juliet that "the earth has swallowed all hopes but she." When Paris asks Capulet for her hand in marriage, he hesitates at first; then he says that he will agree if the idea pleases Juliet. In the thirteenth century, when noble marriages were usually arranged by the family, it is a loving father who wants to please his child. His concern for Juliet is similar to the concern for Romeo revealed by Lady Montague in the first scene. Even though these families hate one another, they dearly love their children.

To give Romeo instructions on how to meet Juliet. However, the messenger is held-up due to a plague-scare, and one of Romeo's friends gets to him first telling Romeo that Juliet has died. Of course, Juliet isn't dead, it's just part of the plan to meet Romeo. Anyway, Romeo buys poison, and goes to the tomb. After meeting and killing Tybalt at the tomb's entrance, Romeo goes in, and takes the poison next to Juliet. Juliet then wakes up and sees Romeo dead. In horror, she grabs his poison bottle, but there's not enough left to kill her. So, Juliet grabs Romeo's dagger, says :Oh happy dagger!, and then stabs herself. The end.

It takes place in the summer. This is significant because the heat is a parallel to the ignition of violence between the families and to the passion between Romeo and Juliet.
