What will happen to Romeo and Juliet?

Answer 1

I don't know what you mean by 'will' (as in future tense), but at the end of the script, Juliet pretends to be dead, her husband, Romeo thinks she is dead and kills himself, and then Juliet wakes up, sees her dead husband, and kills herself. I would then say 'and they lived happily ever after' but unfortunatly, this Shakespeare play has a sad ending.

Answer 2

Presumably we are talking about the vial containing Friar Lawrence's 42-hour-knockout-drops. The initial effect of this potion will be to make Juliet appear dead. Almost all of the succeeding events of the play will be affected at least in part by this effect. In a sense, then, one might say that the effects of the contents of the vial are most of the rest of the play: the sadness of the Capulets, the cancellation of the wedding with Paris, Balthazar's message to Romeo, Romeo's decision to buy poison and go to Verona, Paris's decision to mourn at Juliet's tomb, Romeo's suicide and consequently Juliet's suicide are all predicated on Juliet appearing to be dead, the result of taking the potion.
