Act V: Finale
Prompt G
I cannot hear that horrible news anymore. I must go see this for my own eyes, because you may just be playing a trick. I can't believe my Juliet is dead! What caused this, her family? My family? Now that she is dead, there is no more use of living. She was the one that I would live on through my days of exile for. I shall not let death do us apart. Let me leave and find her, I will die by her side.
Translated to Shakespearean:
I cannot hear that horrible news anymore. I wilt go see this f'r mine own eyes, because thou may just be playing a gull. I can't believe mine juliet is dead! What caus'd this, her family? Mine family? Anon that she is dead, thither is nay moo lay-to of living. She was the one that I would live on through mine days of exile f'r. I shall not let death doth us apart. Let me leave and find her, I will die by her side.
Prompt A
Balthasar, Romeo's servant, enters and informs Romeo about Juliet's death, which sends Romeo into a crazed frenzy. Romeo then purchases a potion from a poor pharmacist, and plans to kill himself next to Juliet. Romeo never got the letter written by Friar Lawrence, that held very important information, so Friar Lawrence went to Juliet's tomb, to wake her and hide her away until Romeo can get to her. But Friar Lawrence arrives to late, Romeo had already arrived and seen Count Paris spreading flowers on Juliet's grave. He and Romeo get into a fight, and Paris dies, on the steps of the tomb. Romeo then sees Juliet dead and consumes a poison that will kill him. Juliet wakes as Friar Lawrence walks in, she sees Romeo dead on the floor. Voices are heard outside, and the Friar fled, but Juliet is to depressed to do so. Juliet takes Romeo's dagger and kills herself, to keep her with her love. The two families arrive and see what their hate toward each other did to their only children, they plan to be polite to each other from then on.
The idea of your loved ones died what would you do? So do you blame Romeo for acting the way he did so?
