The two fall in love and they profess their devotion to each other at Juliet’s balcony. They secretly get married.  

The stakes are raised for the young couple when Romeo avenges the death of his friend Mercutio who has been killed by Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin. For this, Romeo is exiled from Verona.
