Dear Romeo,

You have claimed to have loved Juliet since you saw her at the party. You also want tpo get married to her, which means that you would be marrying your family's number one enemy. Some thoughts to consider before you marry juliet are, doi you really love her? Is she worth the fight that your families will have over you? And are you willing to spend the rest of your life with her?

If all of the answers to the questions i asked you are yes, then you should marry her if you please. If not, then you might have some problems down the road. Some of the consequences could be, being banished from your family for marrying their enemy, realizing that you might not actually be in love with her, you were only infatuated with her. You could also love her, but not want to spend the rest of your life with her which means thats you shouldn't get married. Romeo, you have rushed this relationship with Juliet by a lot. You just met her not too long ago and you are already to talking about marriage.

Whatever you decide, I wish the best of luck to you. Elijah N. Rivers

Act III Quote

O, think'st thou we shall ever meet again?- Juliet III, iv

In this quote Juliet is asking Romeo if they will ever see each other again. She's worried that since Romeo's banished then they'll never be together again. This means that they wouldn't be able to be happily married, or even to love each other. This quote is significant to the play because it shows how little they know about what will happen in the future. They have no clue what they are going to do in order to see each other again. The answear to Juliet's question will determine what will happen in the rest of the story.

**__ Extra! Extra! Read All About It! __** Days ago in the town square, a great battle took place between the Montagues and the Capulets! Two people’s lives had been taken, Tybalt Capulet and Mercutio Montague. They were both struck by swords. Mercutio’s killer was Tybalt Capulet himself, and Tybalt by Mercutio’s cousin Romeo Montague. Tybalt was actually after Romeo, but Mercutio stood up for his cousin and ended up taking the fall. Tybalt then ran off and soon came back to finish what he had started. This time Romeo was ready and he stood his ground and fought, slaying Tybalt with his saber. Some say that Romeo was just acting for self defense against Tybalt. Others, including the prince, say that Romeo had murdered Tybalt as an act of violence. An argument over what shall be done with Romeo then took place and then an agreement was found. The punishment for Romeo Montague was going to be death, but instead, he will be banished from the country and absolutely no contact with friends or family. The way that Romeo reacted to this news was terrible. He would have rather been put to death, than to leave everything he has behind.

 "O, I am slain! If thou be merciful, Open the tomb, lay me with Juliet" -Count Paris Act V, Scene III

Count Paris is saying in this quote that he wants to be killed by Romeo, and laid to rest with Juliet. Romeo does kill him in a duel, but does not like the fact that he wants to be with Juliet. Instead, Romeo kills himself right beside Juliet so he can be with her when he dies.

**Act V Rewrite Ending **

 Romeo goes down into the tomb only to see Juliet lying there, dead. Romeo walks over to Juliet and starts to pray over her body. He knows that nothing can bring her back to him. He runs his fingers through her hair, wishing it didn’t have to be like this. Romeo leans forward and kisses Juliet on the cheek. He tells her goodbye and walks out.

 Minutes later, Count Paris arrives at the tomb, and heads inside to see Juliet also. Count Paris sees Juliet’s body, so flawless and so beautiful, lying on the open casket. He walks over to her and drops to his knees. He raises his hand in the air and looks up towards God. He asks why he takes this young and beautiful soul. Paris bows his head and draws his saber. He places the point of it right over top of his heart and thrusts it into his chest. He falls to the ground, killed by his own hands.

 Juliet awakens later in the night to find Paris dead on the tomb floor beside her. Juliet gets up and runs up the stairs of the tomb. She makes her way out of the cemetery and into the town. She walks by a man who is drunk and has passed out on the ground. She strips him of his coat so that hopefully no one will be able to recognize her. Juliet finds her way to her parents stable where they keep all of their horses and wagons. Juliet jumps on the nearest horse and rides off into the night.

 In the morning, Juliet arrives to the village where Romeo has been put. She asks the guards if they have seen or heard where Romeo Montague was staying. The guard told her it was the only brown building in town. Juliet found the house and walked in. She found Romeo inside and she wrapped her arms around him, never letting go.

 The Capulets never went into the tomb, never finding Count Paris. They thought that he had just left the country and never came back.
