THE END

Today we finished Romeo and Juliet and like we all know they died. Some things that I didn't know was that Paris recognized Romeo at the funeral as a Montague and he thought that the reason Juliet had died was because of Tybalt's , whom Romeo killed. Paris says, "Can vengeance be pursued further than ?" Which by this he means is there anything else he (Romeo a Montague) can do than cause another more .

The two of them begin to fight and Romeo ends up Paris. The last thing Paris asks of Romeo to do, is to take him to Juliet's tomb, so he can die beside her. Here is a website that has a picture of what Juliet's tomb might have been like back then. There are also pictures of what Romeo's house and Juliet's house could have been as well. http://www.intesys.it/Tour/Eng/VeronaGiuliettaRomeo.html

At the end of this play I really had some respect for Friar Laurence. He took a risk in giving Juliet the sleeping potion and it was really sad when he found out that Romeo had not gotten his letter and he rushed to Juliet's tomb and was only seconds late. He literally got to the tomb right after Romeo had drank the poison and died and right as Juliet was waking up. When the Prince came to figure out what was happening, I thought it was very noble of the Friar to take the blame for the whole thing and to confess everything.

I thought it was pretty cool how Romeo, Juliet, and Paris all ended up in dying in the same tomb.
