Because the story is not over. The prologue makes this clear at the very beginning. "Whose misadventured piteous overthrows do with their deaths bury their parents' strife", and "their parents' rage which but their children's end naught could remove" both tell us that the story ends when the parents reconcile.
Romeo and Juliet are just characters in a play and did not exist in our world. In the play they die in Act 5.
In Act 4
Balthasar brings Romeo the news of Juliet's "death"
Prince Escalus of Verona says this to the feuding Capulet and Montague families, expressing his frustration at the ongoing feud that has resulted in needless violence and death in the play "Romeo and Juliet." He also blames the families for the tragic outcome and insists that they reconcile after the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
The first person to arrive at Juliet's tomb in William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet" is Friar Laurence, who goes to retrieve Juliet after she has taken a potion to fake her death.
I think it is Mercutio. He was really good friends with the family but was not directly related to them. After his death, Romeo killed Tybalt, who was the cousin of Juliet.
In Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," Lady Capulet dismisses Juliet's threats as mere words of frustration, not taking them seriously. She is more focused on her grief for Tybalt's death and her desire for revenge on Romeo.
Throughout his play, Shakespeare uses death to move his story along. He does this with actual deaths, which cause problems for the lovers, and through premonitions and dreams of death. Both Juliet and her Romeo exhibit these premonitions/dreams.
No, Romeo does not receive the letter explaining Juliet's plan to fake her death. This miscommunication leads to their tragic deaths.
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.
No Benvolio doesn't even die. He's the only person of his generation to survive the play (Romeo, Juliet, Paris, Tybalt and Mercutio are dead)
What evidences does the play present that Romeo and Juliet were in love or infatuated? What social message(s) did Shakespeare include in the play? Does Shakespeare justify the suicides by Romeo and Juliet or condemn them? How did the characters perspectives change after the death of Mercutio?
