| Romeo and Juliet dead |
The potion will mimic the appearance of death and she can be brought to the Capulet burial vault, while the Friar has Romeo brought back from Mantua (V,i.).
She takes the potion and is found, apparently dead, the morning of her planned wedding. She is “buried” in the same tomb as Tybalt (IV,iii.-IV,v.). Fate and accident prevent Friar Laurence’s letter form reaching Romeo who hears of Juliet’s death from his servant. Romeo decides to kill himself and seeks poison from an apothecary (V,i.). He slips back into Verona, finds Paris mourning Juliet at the tomb, kills him, enters the tomb, and finding the “dead” Juliet, takes the poison (V,iii.). The Friar arrives just as Juliet awakens, but he is unable to persuade her to leave Romeo. And, after the Friar leaves, Juliet takes her own life with Romeo’s dagger (V,iii.). The Capulets and the elder Montague, whose wife has died that night of a broken heart over Romeo’s banishment, arrive at the tomb to discover the entire younger generation dead. They
agree to end their feud (V,iii.).

1)Most probably, the friar is helping Juliet in faking her death because he knows that she doesn’t want to get married to the person her parents have chosen for her. Consequently, this reflects the friar’s belief in the right in choosing the person one wishes to marry.
ReplyDelete2)He heard from his servant that Juliet is dead and that because the letter the friar had sent him explaining the sleeping potion Juliet had not reached him. So it was all a misunderstanding that led to both their death.
3)The sitting of the tragedy is Verona, Italy.
