Act 5, Scene III- THE CESSATION OF HOSTILITIES

Romeo enters Juliet’s grave with Balthasar. Then, he ordered Balthasar to deliver the letter to Montague. The servant of Paris warned Paris that someone is approaching. Paris recognizes Romeo as the man who murdered Tybalt and Juliet. He thought that Romeo must hate the Capulets so much that he has returned to the tomb to do some dishonour to the Capulet. Romeo asked Paris to leave but Paris refuses. They fought. Juliet awakened. Romeo and Paris were both surprised. They stopped their battle. Romexo hugged Juliet and cried. Juliet tells Paris and Romeo what really happened. Paris loved Juliet but then he realized that Juliet is too much in love with Romeo. Romeo is the only one who can make Juliet happy. He let them go. Romeo and Juliet run away. They lived together for so many years. No one knew this, only Friar Lawrence and Balthasar. They keep this as a secret. One day, Friar Lawrence confessed about Romeo and Juliet’s relationship because the Montagues and Capulets forced him to tell the truth about their son and daughter. Because of that, the two families are reconciled and they agree to end their violent feud. They knew that their son and daughter must live happy and contented.:)

That’s what I expect to be the ending of Romeo and Juliet but Shakespeare made the play a tragedy. Well, he’s a wise man because I never thought that this would end in such a bad ending. “Romeo and Juliet” was interesting because it’s a story of a forbidden love. It catches the attention of the readers. It is a breathtaking story because I can’t foresee what will happen next. Things are really unexpected.

Every story ends in a happy ending, right? But, Shakespeare made this play lead up to a tragedy. I hate tragedy!>.<.I can’t blame him. It’s an obra maestra. If I am going to rate this story from 1-10 and 10 being the highest remark, I rate this as a perfect 10. Romeo and Juliet rocks! :)
