Best Answer

The last scene of all of Shakespeare's tragedies is usually violent and ends up with a pile of dead people. Romeo and Juliet is fairly tame compared to, say, Hamlet, where three people get stabbed, one is poisoned and two die offstage, or Titus Andronicus, where four people are stabbed to death within about a minute of each other, or King Lear where one of his daughters is poisoned, one stabbed, and one hanged, and their bodies brought onstage, Lear and Edmund die onstage and we hear about two more that died off.
