Question

(On the balcony)

Juliet continued, “It is just your name that is my enemy．You are yourself, whatever your name is．What is a Montague? It is not a hand or a foot or an arm．It is just a name．Oh, be some other name! What’s in a name? A rose would still smell as lovely if we called it something else……”

This was too much for Romeo．“If you say you love me, I will change my name．From now on I will never be Romeo．”

(In the bomb)

Romeo broke into the tomb and carried Paris into it．There he saw Juliet, who was still as beautiful as he remembered her．He couldn’t understand why Juliet still looked so beautiful．He could not have imagined Juliet was still alive and would soon wake up．He took her hand in his and kissed her cold face．Then he put the poison in a cup and drank it．He kissed Juliet again and fell to the ground．The poison was very strong and Romeo died quickly．．．．

Half an hour later, Friar Laurence came to the tomb．．．He couldn’t believe it．Suddenly He found her waking up．

“Good priest,” She saw him, “where is my husband? I did what you told me to do, and now I am awake．Your medicine worked．”

“Poor Juliet!” cried the priest．“Something has gone wrong! Our plan did not work．Your husband is here, but he is dead! Come away with me．．．Hurry!”

“You go!” cried Juliet．“I will not leave my husband!”

She saw Romeo was holding a cup and guessed he had killed himself with the poison．The cup was empty, but she held it to her mouth．She hoped she might be poisoned too．But she could hear the guards coming, she couldn’t wait for the poison to work．She took a knife and killed herself．

When the guards arrived, they couldn’t believe their eyes．There was Juliet, who had been dead in the tomb for two days, bleeding and dead again．There was the man she was going to marry, lying dead．There was Romeo, who had killed Tybalt, also lying dead on the ground……
