At the end

Act 5 Scene 3

I do not know what to make of this scene. Friar Lawrence has told me the story and it is far more complicated and difficult than I expected. There is so much grief and sorrow in small Verona today and I do not know what to make of this story. My poor Juliet! What has happened to you my child!? I never would have anticipated this ending. Perhaps she should have just listened to her mother? In the end, she has defied was she knew was right and now she really is dead. Oh! How has this happened!?

 As it turns out, Romeo had returned from his banishment in Mantua, knowing that Juliet was dead (even though apparently she was not) he was in a quest to take his own life and die next to her in the Monument of Capulets. He wanted to die next to dear Juliet! However, he ran into County Paris on his way to the vault and killed the County! Not long after, Romeo took his own life as well by drinking a terrible poisonous potion and dying next to dear Juliet. But that is not all! Instead of being dead, Juliet was well alive indeed. She was only in a deep and convincing sleep in her grave, and she woke up just as the Friar was entering the vault. Friar Lawrence was in a hurry to not be caught at the monument and begged Juliet to run away from the scene with him. Instead of listening to the Friar and doing what he said, tragically and terribly... Juliet stabbed herself to death. I hurts me just to think the words themselves. Wretched and woeful words. I can not speak them. I suppose there is not more to say except that Juliet is gone forever and there is nothing that I can do. 

Dearest Juliet, my dear, you will forever be missed.
