How does Romeo react when he is banished?

Answer 1

Romeo never receives Friar Lawrence's message about Juilet faking her own death because the message bearer is quarantined. Therefore, when Romeo hears of Juilet's supposed death, he buys a vial of poison, prepared to kill himself rather than live without his love. He eventually drinks the poison in Juilet's tomb. At that moment, she awakes and commits suicide apon seeing Romeo's dead body.

If Romeo were still in Verona, he would have received the Friar's message and known that Juilet wasn't dead. The two lovers would have been able to live together in happiness.

Answer 2

It made it so Romeo could not see Juliet if Juliet was still living at home with her family, because he could not go where she lived. It caused their deaths, because it forced Juliet to fake her own death so she could leave and be with Romeo.

Answer 3

Romeo was a bit upset about it. "Ha, banishment? Be merciful, say death." Friar Lawrence gets on his case for overreacting, pointing out that death would, in fact, be worse, as he and Juliet might still be reunited if he is alive.

Answer 4

Romeo is very sad when he is banished because Verona is Juliets home and if he can't live in Verona he can't see Juliet so he is overcome with grief and goes all suicidal.

Answer 5

He goes crazy. He says he'd rather be dead than have to stay away from Verona where Juliet is. Apparently the idea of moving Juliet to Mantua had not occurred to him.

Answer 6

He was very sad because he couldn't be with Juliet any more. He said that death was worse than being away from Juliet.

Answer 7

They thought Romeo was dead and Juliet killed herself
