The
tragic ending of “Romeo and Juliet” was really sad and disappointing. It was
not the kind of ending I was expecting for a beautiful flow of a love story
like that. I expected a happy ending for them. And if I am to change its
ending, I would make it a “happily ever after” for Romeo and Juliet. It might
be better and satisfying if it was that way.
In
the Act 5, Scene 3 of “Romeo and Juliet”, Romeo went to Juliet’s tomb and found
her dead. It was planned that she will become alive again after some more time,
but Romeo didn’t know it and he killed himself, also Juliet, when she found he
was dead. If I would change what would happen there, I would make the potion’s effect
be shorter so that when Romeo comes to Juliet, she would wake up. Romeo will
not drink the poison anymore. Juliet would explain the plan to Romeo, and they
will escape. They would live happily even though their families don’t like it.
After some time, their families would be convinced that Romeo and Juliet should
really be married because they really love each other. They will be married,
and their families would be brought to each other because of them, the feud
will be ended and they would live happily ever after.
It
was a very good and very effective style to have the ending of “Romeo and
Juliet” a tragedy. It gives lasting feelings to the readers. But if the ending
was happy like that, the readers may have been more satisfied. Overall,
Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” was a very entertaining and fantastic love
story. And Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other is an example of true love.
