At last, the war between the Capulet's and Montagues has finally come to an end. Romeo decides to risk his own life, by returning back to Verona after hereing the news about Juliet's death. Unfortunately, Friar John's letter letter did not reach Romeo in time to inform him of his death. Meanwhile, Romeo buys poison from a local apothecary that will later on kill him. Paris mourns his wife to be as Romeo arrives at the Capulet's burial chamber. Within a matter of time, Paris fights Romeo whom he believes is desecrating Juliet's grave. Paris dies leaving Romeo heartbroken only to see his one true love dead. Romeo kisses Juliet for the last time and takes the poison. Friar Laurence arrives but it is to late and Juliet has awaken seeing Romeo dead. After Friar Laurence leaves Juliet kisses Romeo and stabs herself.
Why would Friar Laurence just leave Juliet all alone in the chamber knowing her love for Romeo was everlasting and passionate? He knew the both of them would do anything for each other and could have saved Juliet's life. The Prince, Capulets, and Montagues arrive only to see the ones they lost and cherished the most. If I could ask any character a question it would probably be both Romeo and Juliet. I would ask them probably what everyone who has read the book would ask, "why do all of this for love?" They've only known each other for a couple of days and instantly they've fallen in love and even died for one another in this case. I look forward to reading more of Shakespeare's books because they truly are captivating. Although t
he two families end their feud is this truly a happy ending or a tragic one?
