6 Romeo returns
It was just as the friar had promised. The next morning, Juliet’s nurse found her cold body lying on the bed and screamed. “ She’s dead! Juliet’s dead!”
“There’ll be no wedding for my daughter,” said Old Capulet, trying to hold back his tears.
“ Instead, Carry her body to her family tomb.”
Meanwhile, Friar Laurence wrote a letter to Romeo, explaining everything. He sealed up the letter and gave it to his friend friar John, to deliver.
But the news spread fast. Soon, people for miles around had heard about Juliet’s death. In Mantua, a servant told Romeo that Capulet’s daughter had died.
“ I’ll go back to Verona and find Juliet in the tomb;” Romeo sobbed. “ then I’ll lie beside her and drink poison, so I die too. That way, we can be together.”
Romeo went to find an apothecary. “ I need the strongest poison you have.” He said.
“ You can’t buy poison in Mantua. It’s against the law,” the man told him. But Romeo saw he was poor and offered him forty gold coins. The apothecary quickly handed over a tiny bottle.
Rome put the poison in his bag and headed for Verona as fast as his horse could carry him.
By the time Friar John arrived in Mantua, Romeo had already left. So the friar set off back to Verona, without delivering the letter.
Late than night, Romeo arrived in Verona. He crept to the Capulets’ house and found the entrance to the tomb. But someone else was already there.
“ what are you going here, Montague?” demanded Count Paris. “ Juliet is dead because of you. You killed her cousin Tybalt and she died of grief.”
“That’s not true!” Rome cried.
“I loved her more than you did.”
“You’re trespassing,” snapped the Count, drawing his dagger. “ Get out.” He lunged at Romeo.
Romeo draw his dagger too and fought back. Count Paris gasped and fell to his knees, dying.
Romeo stepped over the body and went to find Juliet. She was lying inside, as cold as the stone beneath her. Rome took her hand and wept as he kissed her cheek. Back at Friar Laurence’s house, Friar John had returned. “ I went to Mantua, but I couldn’t deliver the message,” he announced. “ Romeo wasn’t there.”
Friar Laurence felt sick. “ But Juliet will wake up alone in the tomb,” he said. “ I must rescue her!” And he rushed from his house, heading for the Capulet tomb.
In the tomb, Rome took out his bottle of poison. Ha drank it all, lay down beside Julies and kissed her one last time. Not long after that, Juliet awoke. She rubbed her eyes and sat up.
“ where am I?” she wondered. Then she remembered the magic potion and Friar Laurence’s plan. “ Romeo?” she called. “ Oh no!” she cried, as she saw his still body. She noticed the poison bottle in his hand and shook his shoulders. He didn’t stir.
Juliet realized what he’d done. “ Oh Romeo,” she sobbed. “ I can’t live without you. I’ll kiss your lips and poison myself too.”
Just then she heard a noise. Someone was coming. Juliet grabbed Romeo’s dagger. Before anyone could arrive to stop her, she plunged it into her heart and collapsed on top of Romeo.
Friar Laurence burst into the tomb. Followed by soldiers and servants. They were too late.
Romeo and Juliet were dead. The friar summoned the Capulets, the Montagues and Prince Escalus and told them the whole sad story.
The prince turned to the two families. “ See What your hatred has done,” he said. “ Romeo and Juliet have paid the price for your feud.
Old Capulet and Old Montague agreed to bury Romeo and Juliet side by side. Wiping away their tears, they promised that their families would never fight again.
