Firstly, it isn't a book. Secondly, it isn't Roman.

As for your questions...

1) I thought it was ridiculous. Teenagers fall in love, get married, and kill themsevles over a feud and a miscommunication over a span of, what... three days? Not entertaining. Midsummer Night'd Dream is far better. Everyone has to do these projects in 9th grade; I played Juliet in the class play, in fact.

2) My mother's family's coat of arms is red with a crane (bird) on it holding a stone in it's claw.

3) You can pretty much do whatever you want.
