Romeo and Juliet & the Nurse

Romeo and Juliet     & the Nurse

            Romeo and Paris started to fight in front of Juliet’s tomb. Just then, he nurse appeared and was surprised to see the two men with bloody swords.  She cried while attempting to cease the fight. But Romeo and Paris were already fueled by their rage and were unstoppable. The Nurse realized that her efforts were futile and just kept on ranting about how Juliet wouldn’t like Romeo and Paris to kill each other over her dead body. She blabbed about nonsense stories about Juliet’s childhood. Just then, Juliet emerged from her grave and was surprised to see Romeo and Paris- who immediately stopped fighting- and the nurse who was still crying, laughing and rambling, oblivious to the fact that Juliet has awoke from her grave.

            The two gentlemen were surprised to see their beloved Juliet rise from her tomb. But as she raised her hand and stared intently at Romeo, he went to her and kissed her. Paris just stood there-dumbfounded.

            Friar Lawrence arrived at that very moment and led them all to town- including the Nurse who shrieked when she saw Juliet talking to Romeo. The friar helped Romeo and Juliet in explaining to Prince Escalus, the Montagues and the Capulets-with the Nurse interrupting at his every word. The Capulets tried to silence her but just as always she never does. She only shut her mouth when Prince Escalus threatened to put her to death-but still kept muttering to herself how rash the law is. The two families understood the hardships face by their children because of their nonsense feud and had accepted each other’s apologies and promised to be good friends-not only for their married children but also for the peace of Verona.
