More of a tragedy than a happy tale
to capture Romeo's heart, marry him and live happy ever after.
"O happy dagger" is a line from William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." It is spoken by Juliet as she contemplates using Romeo's dagger to end her own life. The phrase signifies Juliet's desperation and belief that death will bring relief from her woe.
Juliet is afraid of the dark so she is afraid of who is speaking to her on the balcony but when she finds out it is Romeo she is happy.
The nurse's primary motivation in helping Juliet be with Romeo is to see Juliet happy and in love. She cares deeply for Juliet and wants to support her in pursuing her desires and finding happiness in her relationship with Romeo.
If you rewrite the ending of a story, you change the story. If you took away the sad ending of Romeo and Juliet, it might be a happy love story (Shakespeare wrote a lot of happy love stories) but it wouldn't be Romeo and Juliet any more.
There art thou happy
Capulet has no idea that Romeo had married Juliet or that he even intended to until after they both were dead. At that time he was of course unhappy that Juliet was dead, but felt that he would rather have her alive and married to Romeo, who he agrees to build a statue to.
The phrase "oh happy dagger" in Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet symbolizes Juliet's willingness to use violence to escape a life without Romeo. It represents her desperation and determination to be with her love, even if it means resorting to drastic measures.
