New Perspective: Romeo and Juliet; New Ending
by Razel Villanueva
Romeo and Juliet is a novel by
William Shakespeare that I think is a life time work of art that will be
appreciated by readers. Most of the modern love stories have a happy ever after
ending but this novel has a tragic ending that both lovers died together for
their extreme passion to each other.
We all know that Romeo and Juliet is a tragic story of two
lovers that end their love cause destiny played their feelings. This is my own
version of this love story that I really like. This is not an ordinary tragic
ending but a mysterious one. But Juliet and Romeo continued their love after
all.
ACT 5; SCENE 3
Romeo: You ruthless coward! You are
the reason why my heart begins to die.
Paris: Montague! Don’t be such a blamer! This tragedy ruined our
marriage! For this, I should tear you to pieces. Juliet doesn’t love you.
Romeo: She is, she probably commit her love to me. Our love
is in high spirits! You are the one who should die.
Paris: Well then, we’ll see about that. As a part of the Capulet’s
family, I am honored to swish my blade through your dirty body.
Romeo: My blade will take revenge for my fair maiden!
(
While the two are having a battle…..)
Juliet:
Oh, my dear Romeo! Please bring to an end that brutal clash between the two of
you.
Paris: Romeo? Why do you
utter such words to Romeo? What is the
meaning of this?
Juliet:
We love each other Paris
that is the reason I keep myself sleeping to act dead so we cannot be married.
Paris: wha..What? I should knew
it!
Romeo: My
dear Juliet, why do you act like this? I nearly sacrificed my love!
Juliet:
Romeo, its fine. Paris,
I love Romeo, you should respect my feeling if you love me.
Paris: I certainly respect
that. I should tell you the truth. I didn’t love Juliet at all. I love Rosalie
but my father told me to marry Juliet.
Romeo:
You should obey your feelings. And after you obeyed it, everything is going to
be fine.
Paris: Can you take my apology?
Romeo: Of
course, I will.
Juliet:
We should go to the palace Romeo and tell to my parents that we love each
other.
(at
the palace….)
Juliet:
Oh my dear mother should you allow me to love this Romeo.
Lady
Capulet: Should I allow you? Well, yes.
After you acted dead, I want you to go and do whatever you want because
I want to see my daughter happy again.
Capulet: We
should respect your decision. We and the Montagues will stop the argument.
Juliet: Oh thank you father! I and Romeo will express our love forever.
Romeo: I
love you Juliet.
Juliet: I
love you too, my dear.
After a
few weeks, the Montagues and the Capulets arranged a marriage for their beloved
children. The people of Verona
were very happy because the two royal families joined together to build peace. This
marriage allows Romeo to be the next ruler beside Juliet. Paris and Rosalie
live their whole life together. After a few years, Romeo and Juliet have their
own twins. They are, Jack and Jill. And their family, live happily ever after. THE
END
Now, I
have created my own way to end the so famous novel of Romeo and Juliet. Like
many love stories ,I ended up this novel with a “ Happy Ever After” ending. It
is beautiful to imagine that two lovers ended up to the equation that they are
going to start a family and have their own children. This seems to be an
ordinary ending for most of the readers but I really prefer this kind of ending
to love stories.
