 Act 1
Every year, the Capulets throw a ball. The Montagues are, of course, not invited.
In the Capulet’s household, right before the feast, young Juliet talks with her
mother, Lady Capulet, and her nurse about the possibility of marrying. Lady
Capulet and Nurse, try to convince Juliet to marry Count Paris. Juliet has not yet
considered marriage, but agrees to look at Paris during the feast , to see if she
could fall in love with him.

Lady Capulet (on the scene)-Nurse?(nurse enters the scene) Nurse, where’s my
daughter? Call her here right away.

Nurse(looking for Juliet)- Juliet! Juliet! Heaven forbid! Where is this girl? Juliet!

Juliet(enters the scene)- What? Who’s calling me?

Nurse- Your mother.

Juliet- Madam, I’m here. What do you want?

Lady Capulet- Marriage is exactly what I came here to discuss. Tell me, Juliet, my
daughter, what do you think about getting married?

Juliet- It's an honor that I don’t think about at all.

Nurse(to Juliet)- Oh Juliet , may you receive God’s grace. If I live to see you get
married someday, my wishes will be fulfilled.

Lady Capulet (to Juliet)-Well, you should start thinking about marriage. In
Verona, girls from noble families who are younger than you have already become
mothers. Count Paris wants to marry you.

Nurse- What a man, young lady! He’s a man as great as any other in the world.
He’s so perfect it’s as if he were sculpted from wax. He’s a fine flower, absolutely,
a flower.
Lady Capulet - What do you say, Juliet? Can you love this gentleman? Tonight,
he’ll be at our feast. Look at his face and delight in his beauty. This wonderful,
loving man only lacks a bride to make him perfect.

Juliet- I’ll look at him with the intent to like him, if looking at him moves me to
like him. But I won’t let myself fall for him any more than your permission allows.

Servingman (to Lady Capulet)- Madam, the guests are here and dinner is served.
Your guests call for you and Juliet. Please, follow right after me.

Lady Capulet- (to servingman) We’ll follow you. (to Juliet) Juliet , Paris is
waiting for you.

Nurse (to Juliet)- Go, girl, and look for the man who will give you happy nights at
the end of happy days.

Act 2
Romeo , Mercutio and Benvolio enter the party wearing party masks because it
was dangerous for the Montagues to go to a party in the house of the Capulets.
When the masked Romeo spots Juliet from across the room, he instantly falls in
love with her. Juliet is then taken by her mother to dance with Paris. After the
dance, Romeo takes Juliet hand and their dialogue begins.

Romeo- What excuse will we make? Or should we enter without apology?

Benvolio- It’s no longer fashionable to talk that much. We won’t introduce

ourselves with a speech. They can judge us however they want. We’ll dance for
one dance, and then get out of there.

Romeo- I don’t feel like dancing.

Mercutio- No sweet Romeo, you have to dance. You’re a lover. Borrow Cupid’s
wings and use them to soar higher than the average man.

Romeo- To me love seems too rough, too rude, too unruly, and it pricks like a
thorn.
Mercutio- If love is rough with you, be rough with love. Prick love when it pricks
you, and you’ll beat love down.

Benvolio- Come on, let’s all start dancing.

Romeo- I have a feeling this party tonight is fated to set in some awful destiny that
will result in my own untimely death. But whoever’s in charge of my fate can steer
me where they want. You can all go and dance my friends!

Benvolio- Bang the drum!

Act 2, Scene 2
(Juliet , the Capulet couple standing on the other side of the scene. Benvolio and
Mercutio go dancing. Romeo and Juliet’s eyes meet. Paris enters the scene. Lady
Capulet takes her daughter to Paris.)

Lady Capulet(taking Juliet by her arm/hand)- (talking to Paris)Welcome Count

Paris! This my daughter Juliet. (talking to Juliet) Juliet this is Count Paris. (Juliet
bends her knees with a soft smile).

Paris (looking and smiling at Juliet)- My beautiful lady, may I have a chance to
dance with you?(offering his hand)

(Juliet takes Paris’s hand while softly smiling. While Paris and Juliet dance, Juliet
and Romeo’s eyes never stop looking at each other. Romeo stops a servingman and
ask him/her about Juliet)

Romeo(to the servingman)- Who is that girl on the arms of that man over there?

Servingman- She is the daughter of the Lord and Lady Capulet.(servingman

leaves)

Romeo (to himself, looking at Juliet)- She’s a Capulet? Oh, what a price I’ve paid!
My life is now owned by my enemy. But did my heart ever love till now? I never
saw true beauty until this night.
(Paris and Juliet finish their dance. Paris kisses Juliet’s hand at the end of their
dance. Romeo grabs Juliet’s hand and takes her away from Paris. Here they have
their dialogue)

Act 2, Scene 3
Romeo- If I offend you by touching your holy hand with my own unworthy one,
then my lips stand ready, like two blushing pilgrims, to smooth my rough touch
with a gentle kiss.

Juliet- Good pilgrim, you are unfair to your hand. Your hand shows proper
devotion by touching mine, just as pilgrims reach out to touch the hands of saints.
Holding palm to palm is like a pilgrim’s kiss.

Romeo- Don’t saints have lips? And pilgrims, too?

Juliet- Yes, pilgrim—lips they’re supposed to pray.

Romeo- Oh, then, saint, let lips do what hands do: pray. Grant my prayer or my
faith will turn to despair.

(While Juliet and Romeo get closer to each other to kiss, other people on the scene
start to slowly leave the scene, to leave the two lovers alone. Their kiss is disrupted
by the Nurse who comes and takes Juliet away.)

Act 3
Romeo leaps over the orchard wall into the garden, unable to leave Juliet behind.
From his hiding place, he sees Juliet in a window above the garden and hears her
speak his name. He calls out to her, they exchange vows of love. Romeo and Juliet
promise each other to get married.

(The balcony scene. Scene is clear. On the balcony there’s Juliet who calls Nurse
to ask her about Romeo. Romeo goes the Capulets’ garden , under Juliet’s
balcony. Romeo listens to Juliet talking to herself before he talks to her. Here they
have their dialogue and talk about getting married.)
Juliet (on the balcony)- Nurse? Nurse? (nurse comes to the balcony) Nurse, who
was that gentleman at the ball?

Nurse- Oh Juliet , his name is Romeo. He’s a Montague. He’s the only son of your
greatest enemy.

Juliet- (to nurse)Nurse leave me for a bit. (nurse leaves the balcony)I want to stay
alone. (to herself)The one man I love is the son of the one man I hate! I saw him
before I knew who he was, and learned who he was too late! What a monster love
is to make me love my worst enemy.

Romeo (talking to himself, looking at Juliet)- Wait! What light is that in the
window over there? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Rise, beautiful sun, and kill
the jealous moon, which is already sick and pale with grief because Juliet, is more
beautiful than she is. Oh, it is my love. Oh, I wish she knew I loved her. Her eyes
in the night sky would shine so brightly that birds would start singing, thinking it
was day. (Juliet leans her cheek against her hand) Look how she leans her cheek
against her hand. I wish I were a glove on that hand, so I could touch her cheek.

Juliet (to herself)- Oh, my!

Romeo(to himself)- She speaks. Speak again, bright angel. For tonight you are as
glorious as an angel, shining above my head like a messenger from heaven who
strides across the clouds and sails through the air.

Juliet(to herself)- Oh, Romeo, why must you be Romeo? Deny your father and
give up your name. Or, if you won’t change your name, just swear your love to me
and I’ll give up being a Capulet.

Romeo (to Juliet, raising his voice)- I take you at your word. If you call me your
love, I’ll take a new name. From now on I’ll never again be Romeo.

Juliet (to Romeo)- I haven't even heard you say a hundred words yet, but I do
recognize the sound of your voice. Aren’t you Romeo, the Montague?

Romeo - Beautiful girl, I’ll be neither of those things, if you dislike them.

Juliet- How and why did you come here? If my family members see you here ,
they’ll murder you.
Romeo- I flew here with the wings of love. Nothing can keep love out. Whatever a
man in love can do, love will make him attempt to do it. Therefore, your relatives
can’t stop me. The darkness of night will hide me from their eyes. And if you don’t
love me, then let them find me.

Juliet - I’d give the world to make sure they do not see you here. Who told you
how to find my bedroom?

Romeo- Love, which spurred me to come and find you. Love advised me, while I
lent love my eyes.

Juliet- Do you love me? I know you will answer “yes,” and I will trust you. But
your swears may turn out to be false. Oh, noble Romeo, if you really love me, say
it in truth. Beautiful Montague, I like you too much, which might make it seem as
if I am overly silly. But trust me, gentleman, I’ll prove to be more faithful than
other girls.

Romeo- Lady, I swear by the sacred moon, which outlines in silver the tops of
these fruit trees—

Juliet- Please don’t swear by the moon, the unreliable moon, which changes its
position in the sky each month. Don’t swear at all. Or, if you must swear, swear by
your magnificent self, which is the god I worship like an idol and I’ll believe you.

Romeo- If my heart’s dear love— (nurse calls Juliet)

Nurse- (behind the scenes) Juliet! My lady?

Juliet- I hear a noise from inside. Dear love, (to nurse) Just a second, Nurse! (to
Romeo) Sweet Montague, be true. Stay for a moment. I’ll come right back. (Juliet
exits the scene)

Romeo (to himself)- Oh, blessed, blessed night! Because it’s night, I’m scared that
all this is a dream. It is too wonderful to be real.

Juliet (Juliet enters the scene)- Three words, dear Romeo, and then good night. If
your love is honorable and you want to marry me, tell me.

Romeo- I pledged my love before you even requested it. Let’s exchange vows of
love. Come tomorrow to the church. And there at Friar Lawrence’s cell, we will be
married.
Juliet- Oh Romeo! My sweet lover! This all it’s too wild, thoughtless, sudden. But
I’ll follow you, my lord, all over the world. At what time should I come tomorrow?

Romeo- Nine o’clock.

Juliet- I won’t fail. It will feel like twenty years until then. Sweetheart , it’s almost
morning. I want to force you to go.

Romeo- My love, good night. Our love, which now is like a flower bud, may
blossom in the summer air into a beautiful flower by the next time we meet.

Juliet- Good night. Good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow that I will say good
night until it becomes tomorrow.

Act 4
Romeo hurries to see his friend and confessor Friar Lawrence, who agrees to marry
the young lovers in secret since he sees in their love the possibility of ending the
age-old feud between Capulet and Montague. The following day, Romeo and Juliet
meet at Friar Lawrence’s cell and are married.

(Romeo and Juliet enter the scene hand in hand. They stop in front of Priest.)

Priest- (talking to Romeo and Juliet while they come in hand in hand) Come,
come along with me and we will do the ceremony quickly. Because, with your
permission, I won't leave you two alone until you both are united. (to himself) Oh,
here comes the lady. Oh, a footstep as light as hers will never endure the rocky
road of life.

Juliet- Good morning and thank you, my spiritual confessor.

Priest- Romeo will thank you, my girl, for both of us.

Romeo- Ah, Juliet, if you’re as happy as I am, and you’re better with words, tell
me about the happiness you imagine we’ll have in our marriage.

Juliet- I can imagine more than I can say—I have more on my mind than words.
Priest- Such passionate joys have violent endings. They die in their moment of
triumph, just like a spark. Even the most delicious honey is loathsome when
you’ve had too much, and takes away your appetite. Loving in moderation is
therefore the key to long-lasting love. Going too fast is as bad as going too slow.

Romeo- Amen, amen. But whatever sorrow comes, it couldn’t overwhelm the joy I
feel from a single look at her. If you join our hands with holy words, then love-
devouring death can do whatever it wants. It’s enough for me if I can just call her
mine.

Priest- May the heavens smile upon this holy act of marriage, so that afterwards
nothing happens to make us feel sorrowful about it.

(Romeo kisses Juliet with an affectionate kiss on her forehead. They leave the
scene hand in hand)

Act 5
In a duel, Juliet’s cousin Tybalt kills Mercutio, Romeo’s friend. Tybalt then gets
killed by Romeo’s rage. Romeo is declared forever banished from Verona for his
crime. He leaves to a city called Mantua. In Juliet’s room , Lady Capulet delivers
the news that she will soon be married to Paris. Juliet angrily refuses the
arrangement made for her. Lord Capulet threatens to disown her. Lady Capulet
sides with her husband, and even the nurse advises Juliet to marry Paris and forget
Romeo.

(It’s morning. Juliet wakes up. Lady Capulet tells her about the marriage
arrangement. Juliet has a fight with her parents.)

Lady Capulet(off stage)- Hello, my daughter! Are you up?

(Lady Capulet enters)

Lady Capulet- What’s the matter Juliet?

Juliet- Madam, I’m not feeling well.

Lady Capulet- Are you going to weep forever about your cousin’s death? You
can’t bring him back to life with your tears. So, stop crying.

Juliet- Let me weep for such a terrible loss.

Lady Capulet- Well, girl, you’re not crying for his death, but rather because the
villain who murdered him still lives.

Juliet- What villain, madam?

Lady Capulet- That same villain, Romeo.

Juliet- (to herself) He’s so far from a villain. (to Lady Capulet) May God pardon
him! I do, with all my heart. And yet he makes my heart grieve more than any
other man because he lives outside the reach of my hands. In fact, I’ll never be
satisfied with Romeo until I see him... Oh, I hate to hear his name and not be able
to go after him! I wish that I was the only one who could avenge my cousin’s
death!

Lady Capulet- We’ll get revenge for it, don’t you worry. But now I’ll tell you
some joyful news, girl. Well, you have a father who cares for you, child. To help
you escape your sadness, he has arranged a soon-to-come day of joy.

Juliet- Madam, quickly, what day is that?

Lady Capulet- Well, my child, early Thursday morning, at Saint Peter’s Church,
the young and noble gentleman Count Paris will make you a joyful bride.

Juliet- (angrily) Right now I swear that he will not make me a joyful bride. I’m
confused by this sudden hurry. Why would I marry him? I beg you, tell my father,
madam, I won’t marry yet. And when I do marry, I swear, I’d marry Romeo,
whom I know you hate, before I’d marry Paris.

Lady Capulet- Here comes your father. Tell him so yourself.

(Lord Capulet enters)

Lord Capulet- (to Juliet) What’s with you? Are you a fountain? Still crying? Will
you cry forever? (to Lady Capulet) So what’s the story, wife? Have you told her
about our announcement?
Lady Capulet- Yes. And in reply she says no thanks. I wish this fool were married
to her grave!

Lord Capulet- What? Explain this to me again, wife. She refuses? She doesn’t just
say thank you? Is she not proud of the match? Is she not counting her blessings that
we have found for her, unworthy as she is, such a noble gentleman to be her
bridegroom?

Juliet- I’m not proud of what you found, but thankful for your efforts

Lord Capulet- What? What is this? How can you say “not proud” ? You spoiled
brat. Just get yourself together for Thursday when you’ll be going with Paris to
Saint Peter’s Church. And if you refuse to go, I’ll drag you there. My god, you sick
corpse! You worthless bit of baggage! You pale face!

Lady Capulet- (to Lord Capulet) Shame on you! What, are you crazy?

Juliet- (on her knees) Good father, I’m on my knees, begging you, please be
patient and let me say just one thing.

Lord Capulet- You disobedient girl! You’ll go to church on Thursday or never

again look me in the face. Don’t speak. Don’t reply. Don’t answer me. (Juliet
rises) My fingers itch to slap you. (to Lady Capulet) Wife, we were cursed when
we had her. She sickens me, the good-for-nothing.

Lady Capulet- You are angry, my Lord.

Lord Capulet- For God’s sake! It makes me angry! Day and night, hour after
hour, I’ve worked to get her a fine match. Now, I’ve gotten her a noble gentleman,
who’s the man of any girl’s dreams. And this crying fool, responds by answering,
“I won’t marry. I can’t love. I’m too young. Forgive me.” And here’s how I’ll
forgive you. Thursday is soon. Act like my daughter and marry. If not, you can
beg, starve, and go die in the streets.

(Lord Capulet leaves the scene)

Juliet- Is there no God above that pities my grief? (to Lady Capulet) Oh, sweet
mother, don’t throw me out! Delay this marriage for a month, or just a week.

Lady Capulet- Don’t talk to me. I won’t say a word. Do as you please. I’m done
with you.
(Lady Capulet exits. Nurse enters)

Juliet- (to nurse) Oh God! Oh, Nurse, how can we stop this? My husband is alive
on earth, our vows are up in heaven. Tell me what to do. Oh, oh, why does God
play like this with me? What do you say? Don’t you have even one happy word?
Comfort me, Nurse.

Nurse- Here’s what I think. Romeo’s banished. There’s no chance that he would
ever come back. And if he does come back, he can only do so by sneaking in.
I think the best thing for you to do is to marry the count. He’s a lovely gentleman!
Curse my heart, but I think you’re lucky to have this second husband, because he
surpasses your first. And even if he didn’t, your first husband is dead, or as good as
dead, since Romeo doesn’t live here and you don’t get to enjoy him.

Juliet- Amen!

Nurse- What?

Juliet- Well, you have comforted me greatly. Go inside and tell my mother that,
because I made my father angry, I’ve gone to Friar Lawrence’s cell to confess.

Nurse- Indeed, I will. This is the wisest choice.

(Nurse exits)

Juliet- Damned old lady! Oh, she is the most wicked enemy! Is it more of a sin to
wish me to go back on my vows, or to say terrible things about my husband when
she had praised him as a man so many thousand times before? Go away then,
Nurse, and take your advice with you! Your heart and mine will be separated from
now on.

(Juliet get’s ready to go to Friar Lawrence cell)

Act 6
Juliet rushes to Friar Lawrence, to ask him for help. Priest, sensing Juliet’s deep
pain, quickly comes up with a plan. He gives her a potion that, will make her
appear dead. He promises that he will write a letter to Romeo to return in Verona
and take Juliet once she wakes up in the Capulets’ tomb, so then both , Romeo and
Juliet can escape.
Juliet- Are you free, Father, or should I come to you at evening?

Priest- I have time now, my sad daughter. Oh, Juliet, I already know why you’re
so sad. It’s too difficult as a problem for me to know how to solve. I’ve heard that
on the coming Thursday you must marry this count, and nothing can delay it.

Juliet- Father, don't tell me that you’ve heard all this unless you can tell me how I
can prevent it. If with all your wisdom even you can’t help, then you must agree
that my resolution to die is wise. And this knife will help me do it. (Juliet takes out
a knife) God joined my heart to Romeo’s, and you joined our hands. So, either use
your experience and education to give me some advice, or watch as I kill myself
with this knife.

Priest- Wait, daughter. I see a ray of hope. But it will require a desperate act. If
you have the willpower to kill yourself rather than marry Count Paris, then you’ll
likely agree to experience something like death to escape this problem.

Juliet- I’ll do anything to avoid marrying Paris.

Priest- Go home then, be cheerful, and agree to marry Paris. (shows her a potion)
Drink this potion before you go to bed on Wednesday night. Your body will go
cold, and you’ll stop breathing. The red of your lips and cheeks will fade. Your
eyelids will close as if you were dead. Your body will become stiff as a corpse.
You’ll remain in this state for 42 hours.
So, when the bridegroom comes to wake you from your bed in the morning, he will
think that you are dead. Then, as is the tradition of our city, you’ll be carried to the
Capulet tomb. Meanwhile, before you wake up, I’ll send word to Romeo of our
plan. He’ll come here and take you with him to Mantua. So, as long as you don’t
change your mind or let your fear interfere with your courage, you’ll be free.

Juliet- Give it to me! Don’t talk to me about fear. Love, give me strength and that
strength will help me. Goodbye, dear father.

Act 7
Juliet returns home to discover the wedding has been moved one day ahead and
she is going to marry tomorrow. Even though she is afraid the potion might either
kill her or not work at all, that night, Juliet drinks it and immediately falls
unconscious. The next morning the Capulet household wakes to find Juliet dead.
Lord and Lady Capulet mourn their daughter’s loss.
(Lord Capulet and Nurse on the scene. Juliet returns from the church. She has a
dialogue with her father.)

Lord Capulet- How are you, my headstrong daughter? Where have you been?

Juliet- I have been to a place where I learned to repent for the sin of being
disobedient to my father and his commands. I am instructed by holy Friar
Lawrence to kneel down and beg your forgiveness. (Juliet kneels) Forgive me, I
beg you. From now on I’ll do what you tell me to.

Lord Capulet- I’m glad! This is good. Stand up. We’ll move the wedding to
tomorrow morning.

Juliet- Nurse, will you come with me to my room and help me pick out the clothes
and jewelry that I should wear tomorrow?

(Lord Capulet exits. Lady Capulet enters in Juliet’s bedroom.)

Lady Capulet - Are you busy? Do you need my help?

Juliet- No, madam. We’ve selected the things that would be best for me to wear. If
it’s all right with you, please leave me alone now. I’m sure your hands are full
getting ready for this sudden celebration.

Lady Capulet- Good night. Go to bed and get your rest. You'll need it.

Juliet- Goodbye. Only God knows when we will meet again.

(Lady Capulet and Nurse exit)

Juliet- (holds the potion in her hand) What if this mixture doesn't work at all? In
that case, will I have to get married tomorrow morning? What if the friar has given
me a potion to kill me? But what if, when I'm laid in the tomb, I wake up before
the time Romeo is supposed to come and get me? That frightens me. Or, if I live,
will the horrible thought of death and night, together with the terror of the place,
make me go crazy? Oh, Romeo! Here's a drink. I'll drink to you.

(Juliet drinks the potion in her bed and falls unconscious)

 Act 7, Scene 2
(Nurse enters the scene. She opens the curtains while talking to Juliet to wake her
up)

Nurse- Juliet! Hey, lady! Hey, you sleepyhead! Madam! Sweetheart! Hey, bride!
What, not a single word to say? Enjoy this last bit of sleep now. How sound asleep
she is! I have to wake her. Madam! What? Still dressed in your clothes but asleep.
Lady! No, no! Help! My lady’s dead! Oh, curse the day I was born! My lord! My
lady!

(Lady Capulet enters)

Lady Capulet- What’s with all the noise?

Nurse- Look, look! Oh, what an awful day!

Lady Capulet- Oh no, oh no! My child, my reason for being, come back! Look up,
or I’ll die with you! Help, help!

(Lord Capulet enters)

Lord Capulet- For shame, get Juliet out here. Her bridegroom has arrived.

Lady Capulet- She’s dead, deceased, dead. Curse the day!

Lord Capulet- What? Let me see her. No! She’s cold. Her blood has stopped. Life
left her body a long while ago. Death has taken her soul away.

(Paris and Friar Lawrence enter)

Lord Capulet- (to Paris) Oh son! On the night before your wedding day, death
has slept with your wife. Death has married my daughter. I will die and leave
everything to Death.

Paris- Have I waited to see this morning for so long, only for it to look like this?
Lady Capulet- Cursed, hateful day! The most miserable hour that ever existed in
all of time. I had just one poor and loving child. Now cruel Death has stolen her!

Nurse- There has never been a day as black as this one. Oh, miserable day!

Priest- Quiet, for shame. Now heaven has her, and she is better off. Now you
weep, even though she has risen up above the clouds, all the way to heaven itself?
Dry your tears and carry her to church. It’s human nature to shed tears, but reason
says that we should be joyful. Sir, Madam and you Sir Paris go with her. Everyone
prepare to follow this beautiful corpse to her grave.

(Juliet is sent to the church. She is left alone.)

Act 8
Friar Lawrence’s message explaining the plan to Romeo never reaches him. In
Mantua, Romeo’s servant tells him that Juliet has died. Romeo is devastated. He
returns to Verona and buys a poison to kill himself at Juliet’s grave. Paris finds
Romeo at Juliet’s tomb. The two fight and Romeo kills Paris. Romeo sees Juliet
body, drinks the poison just when Juliet wakes up and dies on her arms. Juliet
kisses Romeo, drinks the left poison on his hand and there she dies by his side.

(Romeo arrives at the church, running, out of breath, with the poison on his hand)

Romeo- Juliet! Oh, my love, my wife! Juliet lies here, and her beauty fills this
tomb like a festival chamber full of light.

(Paris enters the church with flowers on his hand. He sees Romeo and drops the
flowers when he starts fighting with him)

Paris- Hey you! You are that arrogant Montague who was banished. You are the
one who murdered my love’s cousin and caused Juliet so much grief. Are you here
to do something terrible and shameful to the dead bodies? Stop your sinful work,
evil Montague! Would you pursue revenge even beyond death? I will arrest you.
Obey and come with me, or you must die.

Romeo- Indeed, I must die, which is why I came here. Good and noble young man,
don’t tempt a desperate man. Run from here and leave me alone. I beg you, young
man, don’t make me so angry that I have to add another sin to those I already have
committed. Oh, get out of here! I swear by God, I love you more than I love
myself. Don’t stay here, go away.
Paris- I defy your threats. I’m arresting you as a criminal.
Romeo- You're really provoking me? Then let’s fight!
(Romeo and Paris fight. Paris dies and lays on the ground)
Paris- Oh I have been killed! (falls)
(Romeo drags his body somewhere and goes to Juliet)
Romeo- Ah, dear Juliet, why are you still so beautiful? Even though death has
sucked the honey from your breath, it has not ruined your beauty. A beautiful
banner of red still lingers on your lips and cheeks. The paleness of death has not
reached them yet. Should I believe that death itself loves you, and that the hungry,
hated monster keeps you here in the dark to be his lover? To make sure that
doesn’t happen, I’ll stay with you forever and never again leave this dark tomb.
Oh, I’ll rest here forever and escape the control of the bad fortune. (Romeo kisses
Juliet and puts a ring into her finger. Then takes out the poison) Come, bitter and
unpleasant death! Here’s to you Juliet, here’s to my love!
(Romeo drinks the poison. Just right after that Juliet wakes)
Juliet- Romeo! No , Romeo! (she takes the poison from Romeo’s hand) What is
this?
Romeo – (with half-voice) Poison…
Juliet- Oh misery! Must fate be so cruel with us? Romeo , my love, my
sweetheart. (she kisses him) Your lips are warm…
Romeo- So , with a kiss, I die…
(Romeo dies in Juliet’s arms)
Juliet- Romeo ,wait for me, Romeo. Oh, I am lucky. There’s still some poison left.
This poison will return me to you. (to the sky) I defy you fate. I defy you stars. (to
Romeo) I’m coming my love, with the hope of being together in the other life.
(Juliet drinks the poison. She lays dead near her husband).

The END
