Romeo and Juliet: 5.3.195-321

Characters Friar Lawrence & Lady Capulet

Basic Events - Numerous are dead (Romeo, Juliet, Paris) - Everyone is greatly depressed - Prince is very angry and demands for an explanation - Balthasar (servent) brings in suspects - Friar Lawrence confesses and explains the whole story very briefly - Capulet and Montague make a treaty and finally stop their hate

Key Purposes - Our scene is the last scene. It basically is the resolution of the whole conflict of //Romeo and Julie//t. Also, in this scene the truth is revealed to everyone. A valuable lesson is also taught about how family feuds are horrible and should be put to an end. In this case, even death occurred.

Reactions - I was very startled by the fact that Shakespeare basically murdered everyone vital in the story. Yet, I think he ended the story magnificently because it seems more interesting. I like sad stories that make people cry, it didn't exactly make me cry, but it sure did make me feel sympathy for the star crossed lovers. I enjoyed this book very much!
