What is happening in this brief scene romeo and Juliet act 4 scene 4?

It is actually not that brief, being much longer than the scene that precedes it. But this is the scene when Paris arrives for his wedding and finds that, earlier in the scene, his bride-to-be has been found dead in her bed. As you might imagine, much wailing and gnashing of teeth ensues. The comic servant Peter comes on at the end and lightens the scene a bit by talking lightheartedly to the musicians hired for the wedding.

Why does Romeo describe the tomb as if it were human?

Personification is a literary device in which an inanimate object is described as if it were alive, and especially as if it were human. Like all literary devices, this enables us to get a clearer idea of the thing being described. When Romeo says, "Thus I enforce thy rotten jaws to open and in despite I'll cram thee with more food" he is talking about his difficulty in opening the tomb and his intent to join Juliet in death. He imagines the tomb as an animate being which is keeping its teeth clenched even though someone is trying to feed it. Its teeth are the doors which Romeo is trying to pry open and the food is Romeo himself who proposes to become food for the tomb by dying and being buried in it.
