Juliet's Death

In my opinion, the person who was responsible for Juliet's death were the people around her who didn't approve of the lifestyle she had wanted. Those people consisted of mostly her whole family. Anyone in her family who hated the Montague family. Due to this issue, Juliet had to hide her relationship and further more, her marriage with Romeo. There came one particular scene in the story where Juliet had seemed to had enough of the trouble's her father had given her. Her father was forcing her to marry a man who she barely knew and was forced to love. Before this wedding could actually happen, Juliet had already drank the poison and died. Upon her funeral, Romeo's friend had found out about the funeral and immediently informed Romeo of what had happened to his beloved Juliet. Romeo could not believe the news and had to go see Juliet right away. Romeo also thought of a better way that he and Juliet could be together forever. He bought a cup of poison and also decided to end his life. Little did he know that when he came to visit Juliet at the church, he would find her all well and alive in a couple of minutes. However, he did not realize this until he had already drank the poison. It was already too late and Juliet could no longer do anything about it. Trying to accept Romeo's fate, Juliet then takes a gun and shoots herself knowing that it would be the only solution for them to be together. In conclusion, Romeo and Juliet both die knowing that both their families would never accept or allow them to be together.

  1. Good post Kim. Next time spend more time looking at what you think and expressing your thoughts rather than recaping the film version of the play (in the original text Juliet stabs herself in the chest with Romeo's dagger). More of your thinking will strengthen your argument!
