<P> The Montague family (in Italian, "Montecchi") was an actual political faction of the 13th century . The Montagues are generally portrayed as the' better' of the two families, as they are not seen to be provoking fights and are often found trying to avoid fighting whenever they could, and occasionally found trying to dissuade the fighters to return to peace . </P> <P> The father of Romeo . Presumably, he is also wealthy, and is always in feud with Capulet . Montague clearly loves his son deeply and at the beginning of the play, worries for him as he recounts to Benvolio his attempts to find out the source of his depression . He wishes Benvolio better luck . After Romeo kills Tybalt, Montague pleads with the Prince to spare him of execution as Romeo did only what the law would have done, since Tybalt killed Mercutio . He appears again at the end of the play to mourn Romeo, having already lost his wife to grief . </P> <P> Montague's wife is the matriarch of the house of Montague, and the mother of Romeo and aunt of Benvolio . She appears twice within the play: in act one, scene one she first restrains Montague from entering the quarrel himself, and later speaks with Benvolio about the same quarrel . She returns with her husband and the Prince in act three, scene one to see what the trouble is, and is there informed of Romeo's banishment . She dies of grief offstage soon after (mentioned in act five). She is very protective of her son Romeo and is very happy when Benvolio tells her that Romeo was not involved in the brawl that happened between the Capulets and Montagues . As with Capulet's wife, calling her "Lady Montague" is a later invention not supported by the earliest texts . </P> <P> In the beginning of the play, Romeo pines for an unrequited love, Rosaline . To cheer him up, his cousin and friend Benvolio and Mercutio take him to the Capulets' celebration in disguise, where he meets and falls in love with the Capulets' only daughter, Juliet . Later that night, he and Juliet meet secretly and pledge to marry, despite their families' long - standing feud . They marry the following day, but their union is soon thrown into chaos by their families; Juliet's cousin Tybalt duels and kills Romeo's friend Mercutio, throwing Romeo into such a rage that he kills Tybalt, and the Prince of Verona subsequently banishes him . Meanwhile, Juliet's father plans to marry her off to Paris, a local aristocrat, within the next few days, threatening to turn her out on the streets if she doesn't follow through . Desperate, Juliet begs Romeo's confidant, Friar Laurence, to help her to escape the forced marriage . Laurence does so by giving her a potion that puts her in a deathlike coma . The plan works, but too soon for Romeo to learn of it; he genuinely believes Juliet to be dead, and so resolves to commit suicide, by drinking the bottle of poison (illegally bought from the Apothecary upon hearing the news of Juliet's "death"). Romeo's final words were "Thus with a kiss I die". He kills himself at Juliet's grave, moments before she awakes; she kills herself in turn shortly thereafter . </P>
