Romeo and Juliet

Context:

After Romeo is banished from Verona for killing Tybalt in a duel, Juliet is heartbroken. To avoid marrying Paris, whom her parents have arranged for her, Juliet seeks help from Friar Laurence. The friar gives her a potion that will make her appear dead for 42 hours. Juliet takes the potion, intending to reunite with Romeo after she wakes up in the Capulet family tomb.

However, Romeo doesn't receive the message about Juliet's plan and believes she is truly dead when he hears the news. He rushes back to Verona and visits Juliet's tomb, where he encounters Paris. They fight, and Romeo kills Paris. Overwhelmed with grief, Romeo drinks poison and dies beside Juliet's seemingly lifeless body.

Moments later, Juliet wakes up and discovers Romeo dead beside her. Distraught, she kisses Romeo's lips in a final act of love before taking his dagger and stabbing herself. Their tragic deaths reconcile the feuding families of Montague and Capulet, but at a terrible cost.
