Romeo and Juliet: Epic Failure

                Romeo and Juliet have a very entertaining plot. The scenes are full of excitement. It touched the hearts of its readers. If I were given the chance to change the last part of Romeo and Juliet I would like to make it as a comic relief.

                Romeo drank the vial of poison after he killed Paris. Romeo thought that he was dead but he is not. He tried to study why the poison didn’t work. He recalled the taste of the liquid he drank earlier. It was sweet and tasted like strawberries. Romeo read the label on the bottle. The label was supposed to be “deadly poison” but the label says it is “sweet juice”. The merchant may have accidentally placed the juice instead of the poison. After that, Juliet came out of her coffin and Paris started have consciousness. Romeo thought that maybe he was really dead and he is with some spirits of those who died. He pinched his arm to know if it is true or not. He flinched. He can still feel something. That only means he is alive. The happenings around him made him light-headed. Juliet walked towards Romeo and hugged him. She was very happy that Romeo was still with her. Paris stood there looking like an idiot and was shocked, just like Romeo, to see Juliet, whom they thought was dead, still breathing. Romeo asked Juliet why was she not dead. Juliet explained her plan to Romeo. She also told Paris that she loves Romeo and not him. Paris accepted that Juliet can’t be with him and was about to walk away when Romeo asked the same question he said earlier. Romeo was sure that he killed Paris. Paris told Romeo that when Romeo delivered his final blow, Paris was able to dodge the blade but it was the handle of the sword that hit him in the head that’s why he got unconscious. After telling the reason to Romeo Paris left the scene heart broken and crying. Friar Lawrence entered with the nurse, Montague, Capulet and Prince Escalus. The head of the family was astonished to see Romeo and Juliet together. But what really surprised them was the shriek of the nurse. She jumped out of her feet and ran to Juliet to hug her. She was murmuring something about dead people. Juliet didn’t mind the nurse and told their parents what happened. While narrating, Montague and Capulet wore a wide grin across their faces. When they were done telling the story, Montague and Capulet laughed. They said that Romeo and Juliet can live together forever. Romeo and Juliet were confused. Friar Lawrence explained that both of their parents had an idea of being friends and set aside their prides to have peace. The couple was happy to hear the news. The prince even approved that Romeo could stay with Juliet in Verona. In the end, they lived happily ever after.

                Romeo and Juliet is truly fascinating. It is amazing and I would like to recommend it to the other readers out there.
