The Narrative Style
Romeo and Juliet is a classic example of the narrative style, where characters are introduced, there's a dramatic take-off and allies and enemies are gained. The style reaches a dramatic point (the climax), where there's a resolution, for good or for bad. Romeo and Juliet goes back and forth between who is an ally and who is an enemy, as well as the protagonists and antagonists. We will be discussing this style and points in depth throughout the project.

These terms will be useful for you to explore.

Synopsis (English)
The story opens with fighting on the streets of Nuuk between the Johansen's and the Kleist's. No one is killed, but these are bad times in Nuuk. Anguti (Johansen), who is in love with Orsina, is convinced by his friends Benvolio and Mercutio to go to a Kleist party at Manhattan. At this party, he meets Juliette (Kleist), kisses her, and immediately falls in love with her. Anguti later finds out that she’s a Kleist. He decides he loves her anyway and they confess their love for each other on a balcony at the Hans Egede Hotel, where they agree to secretly marry the next day. Friar Laurence, a friend of Anguti, disagrees with such young love but marries them anyway in the hope the marriage will bring peace to Nuuk. Later that day, Tybalt (Kleist), angry from Anguti crashing the Kleist' party at Manhattan, finds Mercutio and Anguti on the streets of Nuuk. He challenges them to a fight, which Anguti tries to stop as he's now a relative of Tybalt. Mercutio is killed, and in anger, Anguti kills Tybalt. The Mayor of Nuuk sends Anguti into exile to Sisimiut. Juliette's nurse tells Juliette that Anguti is exiled, and that she must marry Paris. Distressed, Juliette goes to Friar Laurence, who tells her to drink a potion that will make her appear dead. He'll send a letter to Anguti telling him of the plan. Afraid, Juliette drinks the potion. The Kleist's think their daughter is dead and bury her. The letter never reaches Anguti. Thinking Juliette is dead, Anguti buys poison and comes to Nuuk. Paris visits Juliette's grave, where he hides when Anguti approaches. Thinking Anguti has come to disturb the Kleist' family grave, he challenges Anguti to a duel. Anguti kills Paris. Anguti kisses Juliette one last time, drinks the poison and dies. Juliette wakes up and realizes what has happened. She tries to drink the same poison but there's none left. She kisses Anguti one last time and stabs herself with Anguti dagger. The Johansen' and the Kleist' families find their dead children and agree to end their fighting.

Synopsis (Dansk)
Historien starter i Nuuks gader med kamp mellem The Johansens og The Kleist. Ingen bliver dræbt, men det er slemme tider i Nuuk. Anguit (Johansen), der er forelsket i Orsina, bliver overtalt af sine venner, Benvolio and Mercutio, til at gå til en ”Johansen-familie” fest på Manhattan. Til denne fest møder han Juliette (Kleister), kysser hende, og bliver straks forelsket i hende. Anguti finder senere ud af, at hun er en ”Kleist”. På trods af det, beslutter sig for at han elsker hende alligevel, og de betror hinanden deres kærlighed på en balkon på Hotel Hans Egede, hvor de beslutter at gifte sig i hemmelighed den næste dag. Fader Laurence, en af Angutis venner, modsætter sig den unge kærlighed, men vier dem alligevel i håb om at ægteskabet vil bringe fred i Nuuk. Senere den dag finder Tybalt (en Kleister) Mercutio og Anguti i Nuuks gader. Tybalt er vred på Anguti, over at han kom til ”Kleist”-festen uden at være inviteret. Han udfordrer dem til en kamp, som Anguti prøver at afværge, nu da han er i familie med Tybalt. Borgmesteren i Nuuk sender Anguti i eksil i Sisimiut. Juliettes får at vide af sin sygeplejeske, at Anguti er i eksil og at hun nu skal giftes med Paris. Frustreret, går Juliette til Fader Laurence. Han siger, at hun skal drikke en drik, der vil få hende til at se død ud. Fader Lawrence sender et brev til Anguti der fortæller om planen. Juliette drikker giften i angst. ”Kleisterne” tror at deres datter er død og begraver hende. Brevet når desværre aldrig frem til Anguti. I den tro at Juliette er død, køber han en gift og kommer til Nuuk. Paris besøger Juliettes grav og gemmer sig da Anguti nærmer sig. Paris tror at Anguti er kommet for at skænde ”Kleister” familiens grav, og han udfordrer Anguti til en duel. Anguti slår Paris ihjel. Anguti kysser Juliette en sidste gang, drikker giften og dør. Juliette vågner og opdager hvad der er sket. Hun prøver at drikke den samme gift som Anguti, men flasken er tom. Hun kysser Anguti en sidste gang og stikker sig selv med Angutis daggert. ”The Johansens” og ”The Kleister” familierne finder deres døde børn og bliver enige om at slutte fejden.












Setting

The play takes place in the city of Nuuk, 2009

Prologue
(Lights down.)

NARRATOR: (English) Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Nuuk, where we lay our scene.
From ancient grudge, break to new mutiny.
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes,
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life.


Scene 1 – Day One – Sunday Morning
Scenery: Nuuk City Scene
NARRATOR: (English) The peace on the streets of Nuuk has been disturbed. Another fight has broken out between the Johansen's and the Kleist's, two powerful families who have fought each other for as long as anyone can remember.
NARRATOR: (Kalaallisut) Nuup aqquserngani eqqissisimaneq akornusersorneqaqqippoq. Johansenikut aamma Kleistikkut
Kamaateqqilernerat aallarteqqilerpoq.
NARRATOR: (Dansk) Freden i Nuuks gader er brudt. Endnu en fejde er startet mellem Johansens og Kliesterne, to magtfulde familier der har bekæmpet hinanden så længe nogen husker.

(Lights up.)

(Enter JOHANSEN'S from stage left.)

Johansen: Down with the Kleist's! Go Johansen!

(Enter KLEIST'S from stage right.)

KLEIST: Down with the Johansen's! Go Kleist!

JOHANSEN: Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?

KLEIST: I do bite my thumb, sir.

NARRATOR: (English) A plague on both your houses!

(Enter BENVOLIO from stage left, enter TYBALT from stage right.)

BENVOLIO: I do but keep the peace.

TYBALT: Peace? Peace? I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Johansen's and thee!

(Drum dance fight. JOHANSEN'S and KLEIST'S fight.)

(Enter MAYOR.)

(Drum dance fight quickly stops.)

MAYOR: Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace! If ever you disturb our streets again, your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace. On pain of death, all men depart.

(JOHANSEN'S exit stage left, KLEIST'S exit stage right.)

(MERCUTIO and ANGUTI enter, stage left.)

MERCUTIO: Come, Anguti! Let's go and see what's happening.

ANGUTI: I can't. I miss Orsina. Is love a tender thing? Is it too rough, too rude, too boisterous and it pricks like a thorn?

MERCUTIO: If love is rough with you, be rough with love. Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down.

ANGUTI: You speak the truth, Mercutio.

BENVOLIO: Forget Orsina. The Kleist's are having a masquerade party tonight. Let's crash it!

ANGUTI: Jeg tror jeg bliver hjemme. Sofa Aapalortoq vises I aften.

BENVOLIO: Come on, dude! Qaa kammalaat nuannisalaarta!

(Fade to black.)
(Scenery change: Manhattan Night Club)


Scene 2 – Day One - Evening
Scene: Manhattan Night Club
NARRATOR: (English) Later that day, Anguti- a Johansen- learns that there is to be a masquerade held at Manhattan. His best friend, Mercutio, suggests they go because Anguti has been so depressed over Orsina, who he loves, but she doesn’t love him. Since everyone will be wearing masks, nobody would know if a Johansen was there!
NARRATOR: (Kalaallisut) Ullup taassuma kingorne Angutip Johansen ilikkarpaa,Manhattennimi kkinarpaqartoqartariaqarpoq.

NARRATOR: (Dansk) Senere samme dag erfarer Anguti, en Johansen, at der skal være maskerade på Manhattan. Angutis bedste ven, Mercutio, foreslår at de tager med fordi Anguti har været nedtrykt over at Orsina, som han elsker, ikke elsker ham. Eftersom alle vil bære masker, vil ingen vide at en Johansen er tilstede!

TYBALT: (To ANGUTI and MERCUTIO) If you be not of the House of Johansen, I pray come and crush a cup of wine.

(KLEIST'S prepare to fight. ANGUTI and MERCUTIO prepare to fight.)

MR. KLEIST: There'll be no fighting tonight! Is this a party or what? This isn't a night for enemies and vengeance. This is a night for dancing. Let's get our groove on!

(Music: Amelie TRACK 17)

(ANGUTI and MERCUTIO and KLEIST'S look wearily at each other but eventually begin to dance. ANGUTI and JULIETTE slowly work their way toward each other. They're completely taken with each other.)

(Others continue to slow dance. ANGUTI and JULIETTE move toward each other, to center stage, stop dancing, and kiss.)

(Music stops.)

(JOHANSENS move to stage left. KLEIST'S move to stage right. ANGUTI/MERCUTIO and JULIETTE/NURSE move to front of their groups.)

ANGUTI: (to MERCUTIO) OH - MY - GOD! KINANA!?!?

MERCUTIO: That's Juliette. Forget it, Anguti. She's a Kleist.

ANGUTI: A Kleist! Forswear it, sight, for I never saw true beauty until this night.

JULIETTE: (to NURSE) Go ask his name.

NURSE: His name is Anguti, and a Johansen, the only son of your great enemy.

JULIETTE: My only love sprung from my only hate!

(Exit JOHANSEN'S, stage left. Exit KLEIST'S, stage right.)
(ANGUTI and JULIETTE are alone on stage, looking at each other.)

(ANGUTI enters, stage left. He hides below balcony.)

(JULIETE appears on balcony. JULIETTE is unaware that ANGUTI is below.)

ANGUTI: But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief that Juliette is far more beautiful than she.

JULIETTE: O Anguti, Anguti! Wherefore art thou, Anguti?.

JULIETTE: Deny your father and your family's name, or if you will not, if you swear your love to me, I will no longer be a Kleist.

ANGUTI (To AUDIENCE): Say what!?!?

JULIETTE :What's in a name? What we call a rose, by any other name, would smell as sweet.

ANGUTI: I take you, Juliette, at your word. Say you love me, and I'll be new baptised.

JULIETTE (surprised and frightened): Who's there?

ANGUTI: It's me.

(ANGUTI appears in the light.)

JULIETTE: Anguti! What are you doing here?!? If my family catches you, you'll be killed on the spot!

ANGUTI: I'll take my chances to see you again. I love you! Jeg elsker dig! Asavakkit!

(ANGUTI climbs up onto balcony.)

JULIETTE: You could have used the door.

ANGUTI: It wouldn't be that dramatic. I had to see you again.

JULIETTE: Haven't you ever heard of Facebook?

ANGUTI: Juliette, stop these games. I've never seen such beauty in my life.

JULIETTE: And I've never known such feelings.

ANGUTI: Marry me.

JULIETTE: Isn't this a little fast?

ANGUTI: There's no time to waste. I was hoping to go hunting this weekend.

JULIETTE: I should be smart, get an education and then make an informed choice, but what the hell? Aap, ja, yes, Anguti, jeg elsker dig, ogsa! I'll marry you!

(ANGUTI and JULIETTE hug happily.)

ANGUTI: No time to waste. Tomorrow at noon near Pisiffik. I'll get my friend Friar Laurence to marry us.

JULIETTE: Tomorrow it is, but you'd better go.

(ANGUTI climbs down from balcony.)

JULIETTE: You're cute, but next time, use the door.

ANGUTI: Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,
I shall say good night until it's tomorrow.

JULIETTE: If they catch you, there won't be a tomorrow. Takuss, skat! Hej hej! Text me later!

FRIAR LAURENCE: Are you sure you want to marry each other?

ANGUTI/JULIETTE: We're absolutely, 100%, beyond a doubt, sure.

FRIAR LAURENCE: You're only teenagers. You we're in love with Orsina yesterday. Wisely and slow. Those who run fast, stumble.

NURSE: I told them, Friar Laurence, but they wouldn't listen!

ANGUTI: Orsina was a girl. I love Juliette.

JULIETTE: And I love Anguti.

FRIAR LAURENCE: Very well. Maybe your marriage will bring peace to Nuuk. Come stand before me.

(ANGUTI and JULIETTE stand before FRIAR LAURENCE. NURSE stands to the side.)

FRIAR LAURENCE: Do you, Juliette Kleist, take Anguti Johansen to be your lawful and wedded husband, to love and to cherish, and to respect for all your life?

JULIETTE: I do.

FRIAR LAURENCE: Do you, Anguti Johansen, take Juliette Kleist, to be your lawful and wedded wife, to love and to cherish, and to respect for all your life?

ANGUTI: I do.

FRIAR LAURENCE: By the powers vested in me by Nuuk Kommunea, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.

(ANGUTI and JULIETTE kiss and then hug.)
(NURSE breaks into hysterical tears.)

FRIAR LAURENCE: What's wrong with you, woman?

TYBALT: (To AUDIENCE) ANGUTI! Where's Anguti!?!? And Mercutio! I want Mercutio!

ANGUTI: (Off-stage) We are here, Tybalt.

(ANGUTI and MERCUTIO enter, stage left.)

TYBALT: Anguti, the love I bear thee can afford no better term than this: thou art a villain.

ANGUTI: Villain am I none therefore. Farewell. I won't fight you.

(ANGUTI walks away.)

MERCUTIO: Why won't you fight him, Anguti? O calm, dishonourable, vile submission! I'll fight him myself!

TYBALT: You are a coward, Anguti, but I will fight Mercutio!

(TYBALT and MERCUTIO fight. ANGUTI tries to part them and MERCUTIO is wounded. ANGUTI holds MERCUTIO.)

MERCUTIO: I am hurt. A plague on both your houses! Ask for me tomorrow and you will find me a grave man. A plague on both your houses! They have made worms’ meat of me.

(MERCUTIO dies.)

ANGUTI: Fire-eyed fury be my conduct now! You killed Kenny! I mean Mercutio! You bastard!

(He attacks TYBALT. TYBALT and ANGUTI sword fight. ANGUTI stabs TYBALT and kills him.)

ANGUTI: What have I done?

(MAYOR enters.)

MAYOR: SUNANA? I told you! No more violence in Nuuk! The penalty for this is death, but killing you will cause more death. Anguti, you must never come back to Nuuk. I'm sending you to Tasilaq!

JULIETTE: I've won the Lotto?!?

NURSE: No! Anguti has killed Tybalt, and the Mayor exiled him to Tasilaq!

JULIETTE: OH NO!

NURSE: Wait! There's more! Your father has decided that you'll marry Paris.

JULIETTE: Paris!?!? I love Anguti! And Paris has bad breath!

NURSE: The worst, but that's life. If I were you, I'd forget Anguti and marry Paris. There doesn't seem to be much hope.

JULIETTE: I won't marry Paris. I'm going to see Friar Laurence and see what he can do!

NURSE: You go, girl, but that boy is as good as dead!

(NURSE exits, stage right.)
(JULIETTE runs around stage in panic.)

JULIETTE Friar Laurence! Friar Laurence!

(FRIAR LAURENCE enters, stage left.)

JULIETTE: Friar Laurence! Anguti has been sent to Tasilaq and I have to marry Paris!

FRIAR LAURENCE: Yes, I heard. Maybe you should have gone to college after all, huh?

JULIETTE: College!?! I can't even think right now. What should I do?!?

FRIAR LAURENCE: We need a plan. I know what to do! We'll give you a fake poison. It'll make you look like you're dead but you'll only be sleeping.

JULIETTE: POISON! I can't even drink Faxe Kondi without getting sick!

FRIAR LAURENCE: True love is worth it. After you drink the potion, you're family will bury you. I'll write Anguti and tell him to get you. It just might work.

JULIETTE: I hope so. I really look horrible in black!

(PRESENTER, REPORTER to stage)
(Lights up.)

PRESENTER: Good evening. Shocking events on the streets of Nuuk today as another fight has disturbed the peace. Anguti has been banished to Tasilaq for the murder of Tybalt. In other news tonight, Juliette, from the House of Kleist, is to be married to Paris within the next two days. Preparations are under way. Now, over to our reporter outside the House of Kleist.

(light shines from PRESENTER to REPORTER and JULIETTE'S house.)

REPORTER: Yes, preparations are under way despite the death of Tybalt. Juliette looks horrible and not like the happy bride-to-be!

(JULIETTE enters, stage right.)

REPORTER: Juliette! Juliette! Can we get a statement?

JULIETTE: I don't want to marry Paris. I'm not in love with him, and he has bad breath! Now leave me alone!

(JULIETTE exits, stage right.)

REPORTER: There you have it. Juliette doesn't want to marry Paris, and he has bad breath!

(Fade to black.)
(PRESENTER and REPORTER stay on stage.)

NARRATOR: Juliette must marry Paris. Her whole family still does not know about her marriage to Anguti. Friar Laurence has given her a potion to take. It will make her appear to have died in her sleep. The plan is for Friar Laurence to take her out of the crypt once the potion wears off and reunite her with Anguti.
NARRATOR: (Kalaallisut) Juliettip Paris katittariaqarpaa. Ilaqutariili suli naluaat Angutimut katinnikoq. Friar Laurence Juliette toqungasuusaarutissaanik imigassmik tunivaa.

NARRATOR: (Dansk) Juliette må gifte sig med Paris. Hendes familie kender endnu ikke til hendes ægteskab med Anguti. Fader Laurence har givet hende en drik, hun skal indtage. Drikken vil få Juliette til at se ud som om hun er sovet ind. Planen er at tage Juliette ud af krypten når drikken ikke virker mere, og genforene hende med Anguti.

(Lights up. PRESENTER and REPORTER on stage.)

PRESENTER: Let's go over to Friar Laurence's house and see what he has to say.

(FRIAR LAURENCE enters, stage left. He tries to run away from REPORTER.)

REPORTER: Friar Laurence! Friar Laurence! Can we talk to you? What's the story with Anguti and Juliette?

FRIAR LAURENCE: I saw Juliette and gave her a potion. It'll make people think she's dead, but she's not. I can't talk any more. I have to get to the post office. I'm sending Anguti a letter!

(FRIAR LAURENCE runs off, stage left.)
(Fade to black.)

NARRATOR: However, Anguti does not receive the letter telling him of the plan. Instead, he hears Juliette has died. He buys some poison and heads to the crypt.

(Enter ANGUTI from stage left.)

ANGUTI: This is where my Juliette lies! I'm too late! She's dead!

(PARIS jumps from hiding place.)

PARIS: What are you doing!?!? You've come to steal and disturb the grave! On guard!

ANGUTI: I do no such thing, sir, but I'll defend Juliette's honor all the same.

(ANGUTI and PARIS sword fight. ANGUTI wounds PARIS.)

PARIS: I'm dying! Lay me with Juliette.

ANGUTI: In faith, I will.

(PARIS dies.)

(ANGUTI opens tomb and drags PARIS to far side of JULIETTE.)

ANGUTI: Why are you still so beautiful?

(ANGUTI opens and drinks poison.)

ANGUTI: Here's to my love! These drugs are quick. Thus I die with a kiss.

(ANGUTI kisses JULIETTE and dies.)

FRIAR LAURENCE: What is this! I'm too late! Anguti is dead!

(JULIETTE awakes.)

JULIETTE: Where is my Anguti?

FRIAR LAURENCE: A greater power than us has worked against us. Come, come away! Your husband is dead, and so is Paris.

JULIETTE: It can't be! What's happened? Anguti is dead!

(Off-stage: noise of approaching KLEIST'S and JOHANSEN'S.)

FRIAR LAURENCE: We must leave! Get up, Juliette, and run!

(FRIAR LAURENCE runs off, stage left.)

JULIETTE: I won't leave Anguti. What's here? A cup? Closed in my true love's hand. Poison, I see, has been his timeless end.

(JULIETTE takes cup but there's none left.)

JULIETTE: There's none left. My Anguti...
