So we have reached the final scene of our Romeo and Juliet unit. I have to say i am a little sad but in truth, we really dont have any more to go! This is a truely great story and i an glad that we read it. I wonder though, what would have happened if it went the other way and they diddnt end up dieing. Would the fued have ended because the marrage of the two children? or would it have made it worse? But, if they had not died, this story may not be the greatest love story of all time and Shakespeare may not be the greatest playwright and writer in all of history either. So, we wish that they had lived but sience they diddnt, they will live on forever.

Wow, very good point. I don't know if the feud would have ended if they live. The story seems to lead us into the direction of no. The parents would have been angry and would have blamed the other set of parents. (Montague's would blame Capulet's for marriage and reverse.) But I don't know maybe fate would have let them live happily together if they lived. Or maybe fate was for them to die together and live happily in heaven together. But i think the only person who would know that answer would be Shakespeare. Since he is not here, we will never know.
i think it would be coool if there was like an alternate ending, but like you said it wouldn't be romeo and juliet if they didn't die.
