...Romeo and Paris draw their sword and fight. Romeo kills Paris. A he dies, he asks to be laid near Juliet in the tomb. Romeo enters into the tomb carrying Paris' body. He find Juliet lying peacefully, and wonders how she can still look so beautiful. He kisses Juliet, drinks half of the poison from the Apothecary, kisses Juliet again, and dies.
The friar enters the tomb, where
he finds Paris’ dead body and then Romeo’s. Juliet wakes and asks the friar where her husband is.The friar quickly
replies that both Romeo and Paris are dead, and that she must leave
with him. Juliet refuses to leave, and the friar, frightened as he can be disappears. Juliet sees Romeo dead beside
her, and reached out from the half filled vial that he has drunk poison.
Hoping she might die by the same poison, Juliet drinks the poison and kisses his lips. She as well dies beside her beloved Romeo.
Chaos and disorder happens in the tom as the Prince and Capulets enter. Upon entering, they discovered the dead bodies of Paris, Romeo, and Juliet. Balthasar gives the letter to the Prince and Friar Lawrence tells the story of Romeo and Juliet's secret marriage. He then scolds the two families, the Capulets and the Montagues, calling the tragedy a consequence to their never ending feud. Capulet and Montague clasps hand and agrees to put behind their feud. The two families built golden statues of Romeo and Juliet as a pact that they have ended their feud.
Romeo and Juliet lay beside each other inside that same tomb. Friar Lawrence secretly visits and brings a fresh batch of flowers everyday in their tomb. On the fifth day of Friar Lawrence's visit, he noticed that Romeo's fingers were fidgeting and to make sure he came in closer until he finally awakens. Surprised, Friar Lawrence spoke to Romeo on how this was possible. The poison that the Apothecary gave to Romeo was just a sleep paralysis potion. Romeo then sees Juliet laying down beside her. Friar Lawrence then explains that she might have also drank the poison since she did not bled from any wounds. Romeo was willing to wait for her. He kisses her soft lips slowly and whispered "My dear Juliet, come back to me." From this great news, Friar Lawrence immediately informed the Capulets, the Montagues and Prince Escalus.
Upon hearing the news, they quickly went into the tomb and saw Romeo alive. Juliet on the other hand is still laying asleep. Romeo then promised to guard and wait for her to wake. After a day, Romeo was worried why Juliet has not awakened yet. They drank the potion at the same time. Romeo was holding a dagger and pointing it on his chest. He thought twice about it. When he was thinking he heard and recognized a sweet voice that said "My Romeo,Wherefore art thou Romeo?" Juliet has awakened from her long sleep. Romeo approached her and with joy he kissed her. In time, Friar Lawrence arrived and rejoiced that he saw Juliet awake. They spread the news throughout Verona.
The Capulets and Montagues celebrated through the official marriage of Romeo and Juliet. From that day on, the feud between the two families has ended and they can now be live in peace. After their marriage, Romeo and Juliet disappear to Mantua to live their life forward. Their love story story goes on and has been told to many generations of Capulets and Montagues.
