Juliet Goes to Friar for Advice

From the death of Tybalt till the end of the play 1

The death of Paris, Romeo, Juliet and the final scene

Juliet goes to Friar for advice. He offers her a potion, which will put her to sleep on her wedding day. She will appear dead and will be placed in the family tomb instead of being married to Paris. Romeo will be informed of the plan and he will come to take her out of the tomb. The message never gets to Romeo. (The messenger is quarantined due to the Black Plague.) Romeo's servant tells him Juliet is dead. Romeo buys poison for himself and rushes off to the tomb. While opening the tomb he encounters Paris.

Discussion: If Romeo and Juliet has a message, look at this last scene and try to define that message. "Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished" - Who should be pardoned and who should be punished? "For never was there a story of such woe". What makes this story a tragedy?That’s it!
