What will happen to the star-crossed lovers?

Jonny Hello again, I’m Jonny. It’s time to continue our story about romance and tragedy. Romeo has gone into hiding, after killing Juliet’s cousin. What can Juliet do to find her husband again? Let’s find out.

Juliet’s parents don’t know that she has already married Romeo. They demand that she marries a man called Paris. She breaks down in tears and tells them it’s not what she wants. But then she has an idea - she agrees to marry but will break her promise by faking her death before her wedding day. She will then run away to be with Romeo. How romantic!

She drinks a potion which makes her look dead. Her parents find her lying lifeless and still and are obviously upset. They lay her in a tomb. Romeo hears about her death and, not knowing about her plan, goes to see her in the tomb. He too thinks she’s dead. As you can imagine, he is very upset and decides to take his own life. He drinks from a bottle of poison and dies, the bottle falling to the floor, and breaking with a crash.

He’s lying there in the tomb - dead - when Juliet finally wakes from her long sleep. She sees Romeo and is distraught. It breaks her heart and she feels there is nothing left in her life and decides to kill herself. She takes a sword and plunges it into her heart.

It’s a tragic ending to what could have been a very different story.

Well, I hope you enjoyed today’s story, despite its sad ending. See you again soon for another one. Bye for now.
