Romeo and Juliet’s love was short lived, and resulted in the deaths of five people - including themselves in Verona, Italy. Dated in 1595. There are many factors that caused their deaths; the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues, the Capulets in general, the death of Mercutio and Tybalt, and the role of Friar Lawrence.
After Juliet’s fake death, Romeo goes to visit her tomb to find Paris there instead. In the heat of the moment, Paris wound up dead, killed by Romeo. Overcome by grief because of Juliet, and perhaps his role in the deaths of Mercutio, Tybalt, and Paris, he swallowed poison from a vial that was illegally bought from an apothecary. He died in the tomb very quickly after swallowing the toxic contents, and it’s believed his immediate motive was to reunite with Juliet in death. He had not gotten word that it was all a ruse so she could be with him again in life.
