Act 3 Scene 5: The Two's Suicide

I think that this scene really shows the relationship that Juliet and Romeo have, both unable to live without the other. Romeo's suicide first shows how he'd do anything to be reunited with his love Juliet, "Here's to my love. Oh true apothecary, Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die." Juliet's suicide is her expression of the same feelings, "Oh happy dagger This is thy sheath. There rust and let me die." Together, they chose their own fate after society denied their wish of being together. Their suicide together also shows that they feel useless if they're not together and how they are stronger together than by themselves, able to defy what their parents and society says.
