Leanelle Dasilva Mrs.Mathers Pre-AP 9 08 March 2023 The killer of Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet's demise was considered sudden to the characters in the play. Juliet was so in love with Romeo that she came up with a plan that would end her arranged marriage, although it did come with consequences.

This quote tells readers how Romeo questions death and himself because of Juliet’s fake death; we can be certain of how much regret he felt after she “passed” and because of this we can assume that maybe, just maybe, he ended his life because he felt as though he couldn’t live without Julie. Overall throughout the play, Romeo & Juliet, The Capulets & Montagues, & Friar Lawrence did end up playing an enormous role in their death. Juliet was very willing to “end” her marvelous life because of an arranged marriage but because Romeo never received the letter from Juliet, he thought that she had passed and because of this, their lives had a big change.
