Here's how Romeo and Juliet died in Shakespeare's famous tragedy:
-
Romeo: Believing Juliet to be dead (she was actually in a potion-induced sleep), Romeo drinks a poison he bought from an apothecary. He dies beside her in the Capulet tomb.
-
Juliet: Juliet awakens to find Romeo dead. In her grief, she takes his dagger and stabs herself.
Their tragic deaths ultimately end the feud between their families, the Montagues and the Capulets.
