Romeo and Juliet, a play written by William Shakespeare, are star-crossed lovers who want to love each other. In the end, it concludes that they both die by committing suicide.

The vial did work, but then Romeo wasn’t there to rescue her, because he was dead. In conclusion, all Romeo and Juliet wanted was to be together, but because they are in feuding families, that never worked.Romeo and Juliet had feelings of true love because they committed suicide for not being able to be
