Romeo
and Juliet.
Juliet awoke
from the deep sleep, the potion, Friar Lawrence gave, had caused. She opened
her eyes and saw the cadaver of her beloved Romeo next to the corpse of Paris.
She could not believe what her eyes were seeing.
Friar
Lawrence: Come with me. I’ll place you in the sisterhood of nuns. Don’t
ask anymore questions. There is no sufficient
time for that.
Juliet
found a dagger alongside Romeo and thought of stabbing herself so she could be
with him in the after life. Juliet seized the knife and pointed it to her
chest. However, before Juliet had continued her action, the priest had injected
a sleeping potion to her back so she fell asleep. Friar Lawrence took possession
of the blade then carried the sleeping maiden out of the tomb before the Prince
and Paris’ page came.
When
Juliet awoke, Friar Lawrence let her realize that if Romeo had to choose, he
would prefer Juliet to have a prolific life rather than to slaughter herself to
be with him. It took years before Juliet surpassed the feeling of sorrow and came
to apprehension that there are countless opportunities to let pass.
She
went to Mantua and started a new life. She changed her name and devoted herself
to theater. She wrote numerous plays and turned to an incredibly famous woman
whom most men wanted to marry. She pledged to another man and had a daughter
she named, Rosaline. But
unfortunately, her husband died in an accident.
Decades
passed, seasons had changed and Juliet’s hair turned white. But, the memories
of Romeo still remained. She asked Rosaline to bring her back to Verona and
reminisce all the moments she had with Romeo. Juliet died with a grin on her
face, hoping to see and kiss the man she loved for her lifetime once again from
above.
Years
after, Rosaline met a younger man named Romeo and had a wonderful life with
him.
