When she seen that he was dead, she had said, “O happy dagger, This is thy sheath. There rust, and let me die.”(Act V, scene iii). Even though Juliet may have had some reasons on why she killed herself because her love for Romeo was so strong and seeing him on the ground dead next to her was to much for her and believed
