He tells Balthasar that he has come to open the Capulet tomb in order to take back a valuable ring he had given to Juliet. Then he orders Balthasar to leave, and, in the morning, to deliver to Montague the letter Romeo had given him. From his hiding place, Paris recognizes Romeo as the man who murdered Tybalt, and thus as the man who indirectly murdered Juliet, since it is her grief for her cousin that is supposed to have killed her. As Romeo has been exiled from the city on penalty of death, Paris thinks that Romeo must hate the Capulets so much that he has returned to the tomb to do some dishonor to the corpse of either Tybalt or Juliet.
In a rage, Paris accosts Romeo. Romeo pleads with him to leave, but Paris refuses. They draw their swords and fight. Romeo kills Paris. As he dies, Paris asks to be laid near Juliet in the tomb, and Romeo consents. He finds Juliet lying peacefully, and wonders how she can still look so beautiful—as if she were not dead at all. He kisses Juliet, drinks the poison, kisses Juliet again, and dies.
Just then, Friar Lawrence enters the churchyard. He encounters Balthasar, who tells him that Romeo is in the tomb. Balthasar says that he fell asleep and dreamed that Romeo fought with and killed someone. As the friar takes in the bloody scene, Juliet wakes. Juliet asks the friar where her husband is.
Hearing a noise that he believes is the coming of the watch, the friar quickly replies that both Romeo and Paris are dead, and that she must leave with him. Juliet refuses to leave, and the friar, fearful that the watch is imminent, exits without her.
Juliet sees Romeo dead beside her, and surmises from the empty vial that he has drunk poison. Hoping she might die by the same poison, Juliet kisses his lips, but to no avail. The watchmen discover bloodstains near the tomb; they hold Balthasar and Friar Lawrence, who they discovered loitering nearby.
The Prince and the Capulets enter. This occurs after he counsels Romeo to run away so he won't be executed for Tybalt's death. Juliet wasn't looking for a hiding Romeo; her question, "Wherefore art thou? An enemy of Juliet's family. She arrives many times throughout the play and acts differently each time.
After he kills Tybalt, Romeo runs to Friar Lawrence's cell where he ends up hiding. Paris attempts to arrest Romeo as an outlaw who is banished from Verona.
Romeo asks him to lay off but he won't and Romeo is obliged to kill him. Friar Lawrence? He is exiled to Mantua. He tells Romeo that Juliet was found dead that morning. Romeo arrives, kills Paris and then himself. In the play Romeo and Juliet, Romeo tells the nurse he will cut out his name with a dagger.
He says this while in Friar Lawrence's cell. Juliet was betrothed to Paris by their parents. He was there to mourn her. He was picking herbs. The moon goes away when the day arrives. Romeo arrives and poisons himself. The priest tells him while he is hiding in the Church. Romeo does not receive the Friar's message because Balthasar arrives in Mantua first and tells Romeo of Juliet's death.
Romeo immediately leaves Mantua and the Friar's messenger never finds him. In Act 5 Scene 3, Paris arrives at the graveyard with his page.
The page says in an aside: "I am almost afraid to stand alone in the churchyard, yet I will adventure. Log in. William Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet. Study now. See Answer. Best Answer. Study guides. The Prince acknowledges the Friar's benevolent intent and instead lays the blame for the deaths squarely on Montague and Capulet for their longstanding quarrel. The Prince also blames himself for his leniency and fines Montague and Capulet severely.
The final scene of the play brings both the transcendent reunion of Romeo and Juliet and the reconciliation of the feuding families. The family tomb becomes a symbol of both birth and death. It is, on the one hand, the womb from which Juliet should emerge alive — and hope be born anew.
However, the tomb is also a dark and fateful vortex that consumes life, light, and hope. Romeo pledges in Act V, Scene 1, that he will defy fate and lie with Juliet that night.
In his final act, he falls by her side and lies with her in perpetuity. As Romeo charges into the tomb, a "detestable maw," he sheds much societal pretense that previously influenced his behavior. His plans are "savage-wild," "[m]ore fierce than empty tigers or the roaring sea," and he vows to tear anyone who attempts to detract him "joint by joint" and to "strew this hungry churchyard with thy limbs.
This last scene, appropriately, takes place in the dark of night. Heretofore, Romeo and Juliet's relationship flourished at night, and each provided the other with light. In his final speech, Romeo once again uses light and dark imagery to describe Juliet as she acts as a source of light in the darkness of the tomb.
However, these images also suggest a spiritual light that may surround a wedding feast for the couple beyond death.
