Romeo killed himself by drinking poison. He takes the poison because he has killed the man Juliet should of married but did not want to (Paris). He then mistakenly thinks that Juliet is dead (in fact she is only drugged and is waiting for Romeo to come and rescue her). However, Romeo does not get the message about Juliet needing to be rescued, he hears only that she is dead. So he buys a poison, lies down beside her and dies.
Juliet wakes up seeing Romeo dead beside her, takes his dagger and stabs herself.
Tho it is a bit different in the film, where by she shoots herself insted.
Friar Laurence discovered Juliet supposedly dead on Thursday morning.
The Nurse did.
the nurse (her servant)
Juliet's family has discovered her apparently dead and are preparing to bury her.
The nurse finds Juliet dead first.
The nurse found Juliet in the Capulet home. The watch found Juliet dead in the churchyard...........which one ???
Nope, 'cause she doesn't know about it herself. Juliet dumped the Nurse as an advisor after she counselled Juliet to commit bigamy. She did not let the Nurse in on the sleeping potion plan. If you had read or seen the play, you would probably remember that it was the Nurse that discovered the supposedly "dead" Juliet, and she was some upset about it.
Juliet's mother would like Romeo dead.
In Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," Juliet takes a potion (not a vial) that makes her appear dead for 42 hours. She consumes the potion on Wednesday night and is discovered on Friday, indicating that it takes effect very quickly.
Capulet thought Juliet had been married to Paris, as he discovered her seemingly lifeless body in her room next to the wedding arrangements meant for her nuptials with Paris.
its dramamtic irony because we all know that Juliet is not really dead but the people in the play do not.
He drinks poison, in Juliet tomb to "die with her", thinking Juliet was really dead. And Juliet stabbs herself when she see Romeo dead.
