Because Romeo thought that Juliet was dead since she took a potion that made her look dead. Romeo therefore killed himself. When Juliet woke up and saw that Romeo was dead she also killed herself. Romeo killed himself with poison and Julet killed herself with a dagger.

What are two of Shakespeare's comedies with the name of 2 people in the title?

The Shakespeare plays with the names of a couple in the title are Romeo & Juliet, Antony & Cleopatra, and Troilus & Cressida. However, Romeo & Juliet and Antony & Cleopatra are both clearly tragedies, as both pairs of lovers kill themselves. Troilus & Cressida is usually listed with the comedies, although it does not end particularly happily for the lovers, who are separated and unhappy.If your question is asking for the name of two Shakespeare plays with the number "two" in the title, then there are the very early play The Two Gentlemen of Verona and the very late one The Two Noble Kinsmen, which Shakespeare co-wrote with John Fletcher. And both these plays are comedies.


Does Lady Montague find out that Romeo dies?

No. Lady Montague was so devastated when Romeo was banished, she died before he came back to kill him himself with Juliet. His father had no one left after Romeo died. I believe he talks about it the last act, last scene.

What do we gather about the Church's position on suicide from what Friar Lawrence tells Romeo?

When Romeo tries to kill himself in Act III Scene 3, the Friar talks him out of it. But he does not use the Church's position on suicide to do so. And wisely so. Romeo is in a mood to defy damnation, and the friar well knows that the only way to reach Romeo is to appeal to his love for Juliet. Thus he argues that by killing himself Romeo will also kill Juliet, whose life is entwined with his. He argues that Romeo will make himself a perjurer if he kills the one he has sworn to love. These arguments, plus the argument that there is still hope for life together despite the banishment, are what persuades Romeo to abandon the suicide idea. An argument along the lines of "Don't commit suicide or you will go to Hell." would have had no effect. The closest he comes is by describing suicide as "doing damnéd hate".There is good reason for this. Romeo and Juliet is a play, not a catechism class. Shakespeare's audience knew exactly what the church's position on suicide was and is, as do most modern readers. Just in case you don't, suicide is a mortal sin in the Catholic Church, and suicides are denied funerals and burial in consecrated ground. We see the effect of this in another Shakespeare play, Hamlet, where Ophelia's burial is compromised because she is a suspected suicide.
