In the play, her pregnancy is what tips off Angelo and the authorities that she and Claudio have broken the law by having sex outside of marriage. If we're expecting Juliet to be branded with a scarlet letter (like, say, "F" for fornicatress), we're definitely reading the wrong piece of literature.
No, she kills herself only a few days after she first has sex with Romeo after discovering him apparently dead. Do Romeo and Juliet ever sleep together? This is debatable.
Series 3. Oh my gosh Elizabeth Mitchell just confirmed that YES Juliet was in fact PREGNANT when she died.
At the beginning of Act III, scene v, Romeo and Juliet are together in Juliet's bed just before dawn, having spent the night with each other and feeling reluctant to separate. We might conclude that we're meant to infer that they just had sex, and that may be the way the scene is most commonly understood.
Romeo and Juliet's Deaths
Rather than stay with her, the Friar leaves the tomb and Juliet is left alone. She then kills herself with Romeo's dagger.
Hearing the approaching watch, Juliet unsheathes Romeo's dagger and, saying, “O happy dagger, / This is thy sheath,” stabs herself (5.3. 171).
Why does Juliet kiss Romeo's lips even after he already died? She spots the vial of poison and hopes there's enough poison left on his lips to allow her to die, as well. (Juliet says, "Thy lips are warm!" This is, quite arguably, one of the saddest lines in the entire play.)
She tells him to give her time to slowly “[discover]” him and figure out if she truly loves him before they move on. Therefore, Romeo and Juliet do not have true love because they haven't gotten to know each other, nor spent any time together for them to have the relationship of people with true love.
Scholars generally compare Romeo's short-lived love of Rosaline with his later love of Juliet. The poetry Shakespeare writes for Rosaline is much weaker than that for Juliet. Scholars believe Romeo's early experience with Rosaline prepares him for his relationship with Juliet.
Juliet agrees to remain still as Romeo kisses her. Thus, in the terms of their conversation, she takes his sin from him. Juliet then makes the logical leap that if she has taken Romeo's sin from him, his sin must now reside in her lips, and so they must kiss again.
Juliet kills herself with Romeo's dagger. Alerted by Paris's page, the watch arrives and finds the bodies. When the Prince, the Capulets, and Montague arrive, Friar Lawrence gives an account of the marriage of Romeo and Juliet. Their deaths lead Montague and Capulet to declare that the families' hostility is at an end.
Romeo and Juliet were teenagers when they died in the play Romeo and Juliet, with Juliet being thirteen years old, nearly fourteen. We do not know Romeo's age; he is treated as a man and, but described as young and appears to be youthful.
After Paris leaves, Juliet asks Friar Lawrence for help, brandishing a knife and saying that she will kill herself rather than marry Paris. The friar proposes a plan: Juliet must consent to marry Paris; then, on the night before the wedding, she must drink a sleeping potion that will make her appear to be dead.
Juliet is just 13 years old.
In Act I, Scene III, Lady Capulet says that Juliet is “not [yet] fourteen.” She is actually just about two weeks shy of her 14th birthday. Romeo's exact age is never given.
Juliet does not confide in her mother. She was raised by the Nurse, and that is the only person whom she feels comfortable with.
Surprise! Romeo Miller is a dad! The musician and actor — son of hip hop icon Master P — welcomed his first baby, a daughter, with girlfriend Drew Sangster, he announced in a surprise reveal on Instagram Monday.
Juliet feigns death to avoid her arranged marriage to Paris and free herself to leave with Romeo (whom she has already married). For the trick, she drinks a substance that gives her the appearance of death. She expects that when she wakes from this slumber, she and Romeo will leave Verona together.
Juliet is only 13 at the time she meets and marries Romeo, but we never learn his exact age. Like King Lear, the play was adapted by Nahum Tate, changing the story to give it a happy ending.
However, in the English poem the story is based on (Romeus and Juliet by Arthur Brooke) Juliet is approaching her sixteenth birthday and Romeo is the same age whereas in the Bandello novella she is nearly eighteen with Romeo about twenty.
Juliet's love for Romeo seems at least in part to be a desire to be freed from her parents' control by a husband who can't control her either. More experienced characters argue that sexual frustration, not enduring love, is the root cause of Romeo and Juliet's passion for one another.
Romeo and Juliet are star crossed lovers who are forbidden to see each other because of a family feud between their respective families, the Montagues and the Capulets. After much deceit and grief, their story ends tragically with their deaths.
Answer: Rosaline doesn't like Romeo because she has chosen to become a nun and has taken a vow of chastity, which means she cannot reciprocate Romeo's feelings.
Overcome by sorrow, Juliet sends him away and kills herself soon afterward. Thus, a strict interpretation of the text reveals that Friar Laurence was the last person to see Juliet alive.
[To JULIET] If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
With Tybalt's threat still echoing in our ears, we now see Romeo holding Juliet's hand and wittily offering to kiss it. He says, If I profane with my unworthiest hand / This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this: / My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand / To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss" (1.5. 93-96).
