Act 5 Scene 3: Death To End It All

Prompt E: 

Romeo and Juliet are so in love with each other and they don't want to live apart. Juliet is supposed to marry Paris, and Romeo is no longer supposed to be allowed in Verona. Both of these things interfere with their marriage. Juliet was so crazy for Romeo that she was willing to die for him. She says, "What's here? A cup,closed in my true love's hand? Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end. Oh 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.Thy lips are warm." Because Romeo is dead (since he thought Juliet was dead), Juliet is willing to kill herself because she thinks there is no reason to live without her love. Although she loved him, she should not have killed herself. She still had her family and others that cared about her.
