Best Answer

Juliet fakes her death to get out of marrying Count Paris. Friar Laurence tries to get word out to Romeo that Juliet isn't really dead. But Romeo doesn't get the letter so he doesn't know that shes still alive. Romeo goes to Juliets tomb to weep over her death. When he enters Juliets tomb he finds Count Paris is also weeping over Juliets death. So Romeo, deranged by grief, murders the Count when he tries to stop romeo from (he believes) desecrating Juliets tomb. Romeos last words were "Thus with a kiss i die". He kills himself at Juliet's grave, moments before she awakes; she kills herself in turn shortly thereafter.

Juliet killed herself because she saw her love (Romeo) dead and she wanted to be with him in eternity

and with every Shakespearean play if someones name is in the title that person dies, because Shakespeare is gruesome

Because she saw that Romeo had killed himself from drinking the poison that the apothecary gave him because he was under the impression that she was dead. even though she had only had the sleeping potion so that they could run away together. Juliet THOUGHT that she could not live without Romeo, just like Romeo THOUGHT that he could not live without her.

How did Juliet die and why?

Well, Juliet, in the play Romeo and Juliet died in a tragic death. You see, Romeo and Juliet's parents and family were in such a great feud that Romeo and Juliet were forbidden from seeing each other. Juliet then pretended to kill herself, and so Romeo saw her and killed HIM self. Juliet woke up from her fake death and saw dead Romeo. So she promptly stabbed herself with his dagger and her cold, dead corpse fell onto his and they died tragically together. So sad... I found that this tragic play was very similar to that of Queen Cleopatra of Egypt and Mark Antony's death.
