Research Paper Final Draft I think that the tomb of Juliet in Verona is fake, the first reason as to why I think this is because the story of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is not in actual history. As opposed to the people who doesn't really care that it's fake, but the symbolism of the love makes it real in their perspective. The “Tomb of Juliet “, was built by an Italian man, and his name was Antonio Avena. In earlier versions of Shakespeare story, the “Juliet” of one was named Giulietta. ”Luigi da Porta in the 1530s wrote a similar compilation of Romeo Montechhi and Giulietta Cappelleti, moving the setting of their lives from Siena to the Verona from where Shakespeare would write it” (Stone).

He had built the tomb at around the time of 1937. It would be over 300 years after Shakespeare had written his play that the tomb was constructed. “It is thanks to Antonio Avena that visitors from everywhere can now find in Verona of the places to see and where to place the tragedy of the heroine immortalized by Shakespeare” If it were not for his love and wanting to prove it, Tomba of di Giulietta would have never been made into a reality. There are people who don't care that the fact, even though the story behind Juliet's tomb is false, means that the tomb is fake. With that, people feel that the tomb is a reality of such of an impacting, and meaningful love making it real. Since the story of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is not true.

However, Romeo does not know that and therefore is going to Juliet’s tomb to kill himself with her. This creates a very suspenseful tone because all of the audience still wants Romeo and Juliet to live, even though the audience was told from the beginning that they were not going to win. Therefore suspense is all around because nobody wants Romeo to kill himself and everyone is just waiting for Juliet to wake up. Shakespeare also uses this dramatic irony when Romeo is saying that Juliet is the “Paramour” of death, meaning she is having an affair with death. Romeo is only saying this because of how well he thinks death is treating her and her looks.

Some say that we should continue to allow our teens to read this tragic love story, while many argue that this play should no longer be allowed in schools.
