How Romeo & Juliet REALLY died
Apr 8th, 2008 by jessi3ca
During English one day we somehow got on topic of Romeo & Juliet. It’s been years but I’ve seen the movie but never have read anything on the story. Some people said Romeo drank the poison after Juliet, some said he killed himself and she died & so on & so on.
So this afternoon I looked up the story of Romeo & Juliet. And what had happened was Romeo found his beloved Juliet asleep, but he thought her dead. She was really faking so she wouldn’t have to marry Paris. Romeo and Paris fight, and in the end Romeo kills Paris. Paris’s last request as he dies is to be laid in a coffin with his dear Juliet. Romeo does lay him in a tomb, but not with Juliet. Instead he walks over to her body then kisses her. “Here’s to my love” and he drinks the poison. Romeo dies next to his love. But a short while later Juliet awakes to find Romeo beside her, not breathing. “What’s this?” she picks up the cup. “A drink to die and left none for me? I shall kiss him for there is poison still dripping from his lips.” Well, she does but it’s not enough. She then hears voices approaching. So she takes her Romeo’s knife and stabs her heart. She dies in his arms.
This is just the basics I got from what I read, it may not be exactly correct. But I think it’s really sad. No matter what it is, reading a book is always more touching than any movie. But that’s just me 
And by the way, Romeo & Juliet were 14 years old. How’s that for some serious love at a young age? 
HA! I told you so.
Ciatation needed. You did not say she stabbed herself in her heart. HA HA!
I said she killed herself. Close enough.
But you thought she drank the poison & that’s how she died but in fact, she did not. HA HA HA!
Some people are so nit-picky.
And some people just can’t accept the fact that they stand corrected
Actually, I’m sitting.
