The Nurse, having received no response to several calls, opens a curtain to see Juliet. She quickly determines Juliet to be dead and, shouting terrified laments, calls for Lady Capulet. She continues her mad grieving later when Capulet enters.

Paris first finds out through Capulet's rather fatalistic choice of wording and metaphor. Paris expresses sadness for the disappointment of his hopes of joy on this day in particular. He then joins the Nurse and Lady Capulet, violently expressing his despair. The three contrast with Capulet who, although not entirely composed, is more solemn and dark.
Paris blames Romeo for Juliet's death and forces him to fight when they meet in the graveyard. When Romeo strikes Paris down, Paris requests to be laid with Juliet's body. Romeo does not grant this request but feels pities Paris who died honorably.
