My Romeo and Juliet Ending


Romeo and Juliet-- one of the greatest classical stories ever written. One of William Shakespeare's best works in the history of his life. It is a story between two teenage lovers whose families are mortal enemies or rivals of each other. Because of their love for each other, Romeo, the eighteen year old son of the Montague family; and Juliet, the fourteen year old daughter of the Capulet family, were secretly married. The ending of Romeo and Juliet is a very tragic and heartbreaking ending because when Romeo and Juliet committed suicide, that's when the Montagues and Capulets declared peace between their families. Unlike the stories nowadays, this is one of those stories which doesn't have a "happily ever after" ending for the lovers.

My classmates and I absolutely loved the story of Romeo and Juliet. The series of events that Shakespeare put is incredible. You don't know what will happen next, and you will expect the unexpected; from the moment when Romeo and Juliet fell in love with each other up to their death. We all felt the same when we finished the story-- if only we could kill their parents! It is so annoying, and heartbreaking, and, and, asdfjklasdk, I can't explain the feeling! If I were asked and given an opportunity to change the ending, I would put a "happily ever after". I want it to be like this:

When Friar Lawrence sent the letter to Romeo via Friar John, Romeo didn't get the letter. But when Balthasar told Romeo that Juliet is dead, Romeo and Balthasar immediately left, bought poison from an apothecary, and went to Verona. Meanwhile in the graveyard, Paris was there with his servant. Then Paris heard a noise and left right away (he got scared of the noise). The noise turned out to be Friar Lawrence (he was hiding behind the bushes)-- who was going to get Juliet out of the grave. A few minutes later, Romeo arrived and wept over Juliet's grave. Because of his great sadness, and thinking that Juliet is dead, Romeo held the bottle of poison; and when he was about to drink it, Friar Lawrence stopped him. He explained everything that they have planned-- about the potion, and Juliet being "dead" for forty-two hours. After explaining all these things to Romeo, Romeo's face enlightened with happiness and hope. After a while, they heard a noise from the Juliet's grave. Friar Lawrence told Romeo to get Juliet and escape to a very far place that their parents would think they wouldn't have been. Then Friar Lawrence gave them a potion that will make them look very different from their faces as their disguises. This potion will last for 34 hours. Romeo and Juliet bid farewell to Friar Lawrence and they followed his instructions carefully. When they got to the place where they are not known, they stayed there. After a year, they had children. And Romeo and Juliet lived happily ever after. 
The End.
