In Romeo and Juliet in Act 5, Scene 3 on page 734, Romeo and Juliet commit suicide to prove their everlasting love for each other. Their death was due to a long series of events that would have followed after their attempted deaths. If they didn't die at that very moment, the watchmen would have found them and killed them both. In 5:3 on page 735, the watchmen enter the Capulets grave and were ready to kill anyone inside. Additionally, since Romeo had been banished from Verona, the watchmen would have found him and killed him. ~Kelly Antonacci


 * In act 5 scene 3 of Romeo and Juliet, page 734, Juliet wakes up from the potion and she fully understands the situation. She even asks for Romeo, so the potion worked just as it was supposed to. Juliet is known to overreact, so very surprisingly she is very level headed when she sees her husband on the ground, dead. She could be reasonable because she had expected something to go wrong, as she had thougt out in Act 4. She could also not have reacted becuase she has simply become as morbid as Romeo. Which just shows how much Juliet has changed over the course of the play. **

In Act 5 of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet makes a very serious decision in a split second. Once Juliet wakes up on page 734 in Act 5, Scene 3, she realizes the plan has gone terribly wrong when she sees Romeo on the floor dead. On page 735 in act 5, Scene 3, The Friar tells her Romeo and Paris are dead, she can just become a nun, and that they must leave before the night watch get there. After she tells the Friar that she would be out of the tomb right after him she kisses Romeo, hears people coming toward her, and kills herself with a knife. I don't think that this was a good decision at all because even though she doesn't want to live without Romeo I think she could have went on to live a long happy life and would've found someone else who she loved and i think it was an impulse decision based on panic and extreme sadness. -Nick Avallone

In Act 5 of Romeo and Juliet, both Romeo and Juliet commit suicide, and as Kelly said, it was because they were in love. But, contrasting the more planned out death of Romeo, Juliet quickly kills herself. First, we know Romeo's death was more planned out because he got the poison from an apothocary and on page 734, 5:3 he made a lengthy speech before he drank the poison. Juliet, on the other hand, quickly killed herself as depicted in 5:3, page 735. We know this first because, as soon as she heard someone coming she stabbed herself in the chest with a dagger. (Same page and scene as previous.) Also, because she did not plan out a speech to say before she killed herself. -Toni Yuko =====


 * Consequences**
 * During Romeo and Juliet, Juliet has proved herself to be a fairly independent person. However, in Act 5 scene 3 on page 734, Juliet decides to end her life because of her love for the newly-dead Romeo. Along with any action, there are many consequences. Because of the choice that Juliet made, she will no longer have a life. Everything she has ever worked for is gone. Her parents no longer have a daughter, let alone a child. Her family was hurt greatly by her decision. She cannot take it back. However, consequences are not always bad. Since Juliet killed herself, she has made a huge impact on the community. The Capulets and the Montagues are now "friends" after the long feud between families. This all happened because of Juliet's tragic decision. -** Lindsey Taormina :)

﻿ The End? Juliets life changing descision Juliet Briefly reawakens in Act V, but very shortly disappears again. Juliet finds romeo beside her dead and despite the Friars convincing of her to become a nun, she decides it is not worth and takes Romeo's dagger and stabs herself on page 735 of Act V. The two are both discovered dead by the others. Was Romeo's death really worth Juliet killing herself? She could have lived a much better life had she just decided to marry Paris, but he is dead too after Romeo slayed. Juliet was just in the wrong place at the wrong time for almost the plays entirety.
