Scene 1 - A Churchyard: The Capulets' Tomb
Originally expecting to attend a wedding, the Capulet family and Paris' entourage gather to mourn Juliet. |
Funeral procession with Juliet's body. |
Romeo appears, unaware of the scheme hatched between Lawrence and Juliet. He despairs at Juliet's 'death' and kills himself. |
Juliet awakens. Still groggy from the potion,
she rejoices in the plan's success - until she sees Romeo's body. Unable to contain her grief, she stabs herself and embraces
Romeo as she dies.
