Suicide In Romeo And Juliet

Either way, their love was bound to end in a tragic love story. Romeo and Juliet never seemed to be at the right place at the right time. Tybalt didn’t know Romeo and Juliet were married, so he tried to kill Romeo for trying to stop the fight between him and Mercutio. After Romeo’s banishment, Lord Capulet pushed up Juliet’s wedding so she could be married to Paris. Juliet was so upset that her true love had been banished, she considered of ending her life because she could never be with him again. Friar Lawrence said, “take this vial, mix its contents with liquor and drink that night with no one in your room. When they come in to wake you on Thursday morning for the wedding, your body will be lifeless. You will be in a deathlike state for forty - two hours. When your family takes you to the Capulet tomb Romeo will be there to take Mantua. You will have to remain brave and not become scared. Then you will be able to live happily ever after with your true love Romeo.” Friar explained to Juliet how her and Romeo could be together without anyone knowing. All of the secrets between them lead their fates. They never told their parents what they had done, and it ended lives in a heartbreaking mess.

Juliet took a Potion that put her into a deep sleep, which in result made her family think she was dead. Also making Romeo think the same thing, he went to her grave site to take his own life, there he had an encounter with her fiancé, Paris, and they engaged in a fight and shortly after killing Paris Romeo took his own life. A short time after Juliet awoke from her deep sleep she discovered that her husband and fiancé were dead and took her own

The play Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, was a confusing romance story about two star-crossed lovers who kill themselves; because, they can not be together. The reason why these two star-crossed lovers is dead is because Friar John was not able to deliver the message in time, and could also be Bethlazars fault because he had rushed to tell Romeo that Juliet is dead. Friar John was to get the letter from Friar Lawrence to Romeo in Mantua. In the letter it had said that he had given Juliet a potion so she would seem like she was dead but actually was not dead. She would awake in 42 hours within drinking the potion, and keep her in his corridor until Romeo had came to get her. It would be Friar John’s fault that these two star-crossed lovers had died.

The hatred between the Montagues and the Capulets triggered Friar Laurence to give Juliet a sleeping potion, an action with grave consequences. Her dilemma is that her father, Capulet, is ordering her to marry Paris but she can't because it would go against her religion because she is married in secret to Romeo. Juliet asks Friar Laurence for a solution to her dilemma. The Friar proposes that Juliet take a special potion that would make it seem like she were dead. This is the Friar's instructions to Juliet as to when to take the potion and the effects of the potion:

”(Shakespeare 5:3) Juliet wakes up from the potion and realizes that the plan didn't go as how she wanted it to go. She finds him dead in front of her and she takes his dagger and kills herself so she can be with

“Take thou this vial, being then in bed, and this distilled liquor drink thou off. When presently through all thy veins shall run a cold and drowsy humor; for no pulse shall keep his native progress, but surcease.” ( ,). This did not go as planned Romeo never got the letter explaining what was going on as far as he knew Juliet was dead. Romeo had went to get some poison opposed from not having Juliet in his life he had rather die with her so that they could be together at peace finally. Seconds before Juliet had awaken the poison was already upon his lips,he had began to take his last breath.Spending their last moments alive together Juliet had decided to take her life as well. If it weren’t for the feud Romeo and Juliet would be able to live together happily instead their life had to end so that they could be together. Their forbidden love because of the feud caused the death of the two lovers. They wanted to be together but the two families morals got in the way of that. Romeo and Juliet came from two different families who things from very different perspectives Romeo could do things that Juliet’s parents had

Romeo is ready to do this when he finds out that Juliet has died. Little to Romeo’s knowledge, Juliet’s death potion was temporary so she did not have to marry Paris instead of Romeo. Once Romeo finds out the bad news, he buys a potion that will kill him. He plans on using the potion next to Juliet's gave so they could be dead next to each other and be together forever.

Then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger! This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die” (V.iii.169-170). When Juliet’s eyes fall upon Romeo, dead, she loses all sense. The young girl hurriedly commits suicide, even with the belief that she will descend to hell.

To make the connection stronger Juliet takes the chance of the potion being a poison, because she thinks it is her last chance to be with Romeo. As Juliet drinks the potion she mumbles, “Romeo, Romeo, Romeo, I drink to thee” (Shakespeare 903). After Juliet drinks the potion she falls onto her bed into a deep sleep. The next morning the Nurse discovers her and assumes she is dead. Soon after the whole town believes Juliet has fallen to

Juliet took a potion that would make her seem dead. Juliet wanted to kill herself

Juliet is not actually dead but Romeo thinks she is because Friar Laurence didn’t get the message to him in time, so Romeo has a plan to break in her tomb and kill himself right next to her so they will always be together. “Thou womb of death… Thu enforce thy rotten jaws to open..I’ll

The prior Juliet said “I’ll look to like, if looking liking move;/ But no more deep will I endart mine eye/ Than your consent gives strength to make it fly” (I.iii.97-99), promising her mother that she would stay inside the restraints Lady and Lord Capulet placed on her and Paris’s love. This same girl was suddenly was making secret plans to get married the very next day. “Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow” (II.ii.144). When her husband of a few days was banished from Verona, she broke down to near insanity. “‘Romeo is banished’ - to speak that word/ Is father, mother, Tybalt, Romeo, Juliet,/ All slain, all dead. ‘Romeo is banished’” (III. ii. 122-124). She was willing to go to measures such as killing herself in order to not marry County Paris, refusing to be a wife of two men, even though her chances of ever seeing Romeo again were slim. “Thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself,/ Then it is likely thou wilt undertake/ A thing like death to chide away this shame” (IV. i. 72-74). She settled for just a taste of death. “... appear like death;/ And in this borrowed likeness of shrunk death;/ Thou shalt continue two-and-forty hours” (IV. i. 103-105). Then when she found her husband dead lying on the ground next to her upon her awaken, she knew her plan had failed. Juliet decided a life without Romeo is not a life she wants to live. In result, she found

O churl! Drunk all, and left no friendly drop to help me after? I will kiss thy lips. Haply some poison yet doth hang on them to make me die with a restorative” (Acts V.iii.161-166). Since Romeo was driven by his love to be with her no matter what Juliet woke next to her dead husband and because her intentions were to same and she was also blinding by her love she took her life not thinking about her life ahead and the life of others.

Juliet had time alone to sleep which made it easy for her to take the potion. Lady Capulet and the Nurse were busy making preparations for the wedding. Capulet tells the Nurse to wake Juliet. The Capulet 's learn that their daughter Juliet is dead. The wedding preparations are changed to those of a funeral.

Romeo and Juliet rushed through with their actions, allowing their haste and passion to lead them to their own deaths. Even before the two had properly met, their affection for each other was so strong that they began seeing death as the singular alternative to not being able to be with the other. Juliet’s declaration that “if [Romeo] be married. My grave is like to be my wedding bed” encapsulates how her passion for Romeo was so strong that if she couldn’t end up together with him, she would rather die than consider marrying another. Similarly, Romeo felt that his life would be “better ended by [Juliet’s relatives] than death prorogued, wanting of thy love”. This eventually culminates in both Romeo and Juliet actually dying, due to the fact
