Why Romeo And Juliet's Tomb Is Not Real?

Decent Essays
The Tomba DI Giulietta is not real because there are several reasons for this, but I'm going to list three. First, the reason is this story is fictional. The second reason is there were never dead people actually in the tomb. The third reason is that this story is just like Pyramus and Thisbe. I think that this tomb is a false tomb and the story is made up.
The first reason is this is a fictional story. I think this because the story was made up and in William Shakespeare’s play, he said that the actors “Romeo, Juliet, Tybalt, and Paris all died in the tomb”. According to Ms. Zhong the tomb is a fake and they just want tourists.
The second reason is that there were never any dead people or bodies in the actual tomb. They used the tomb for part of the play. Also, according to Ms. Zhong, she said that there have been never any actual dead bodies in the tomb, before or after Romeo and Juliet.

I think this because after reading a short story of Pyramus and Thisbe, then reading Romeo and Juliet. It makes more sense that Shakespeare got an idea or hint on what to make his play about.
In conclusion, I believe that Juliet’s tomb is not real. Also, Shakespeare just needed a place to ¨put” Juliet’s body of the

    The first reason of Romeo and Juliet’s death was Friar John not sending the letter. The main reason he said he couldn’t send the letter was because he got stuck in a quarantine.

    Faking her death and going to live with Romeo, meant that she would leave everything she had behind, including her friends, family and her home. Despite the fact that she had no other choice if she wanted to be with Romeo, it was a foolish act. On top of that, Romeo, thinking that Juliet was actually dead, killed himself because he was extremely loyal to Juliet as he would die “rather than live…without” her (Romeo and Juliet, Oxford School Shakespeare). Both deaths were rushed, irrational deaths. While pressure from both families drove them to their final deadly decisions, it was their extreme loyalty to each other that caused their tragic deaths.…

However, why was the tomb found amongst others if it were removed from the church graveyard. It was found in a graveyard with the sarcophagi of a rich family which means that whoever owned that sarcophagus was not found to have committed suicide or hadn’t killed themselves at all.…
