Romeo and Juliet Final Scene

My opinion of the final scene was sad and weird. Romeo, Juliet, and Paris all died and that was all very sad. I didn't like how after Juliet saw that Romeo was dead she just decided that she was going to kill herself by stabbing herself with his sword. I get that they were both madly in love with each other but killing yourself and not even waiting until the Friar got back so she could talk it over with him. I think it would have been better if Romeo and Juliet had just told their parents that they got married and they love each other and they could all get past it and they wouldn't have died. Also, when everyone showed up to see all of them dead it made it very dramatic and sad but it didn't really need to be there.

My favorite part of the ending scene was when Capulet said to Montague that they should just make up and stop fighting because our children are because we don't like each other. And then when Montague agreed it made the ending somewhat happy. This book has influenced cultures through out time by it's tragic story. You'll hear people say that so and so are the next Romeo and Juliet or something like that. But also the love, Romeo and Juliet loved each other so much that they would die for each other and even though I think that they shouldn't have died it shows how much they care about each other. Also, it shows that they will risk going aganist their parents' beck just to be together.
