The End of Romeo and Juliet (Literally)

^^Haha I think my title was pretty clever :) Anyways, all this dying at the end came really fast. Paris dies, Romeo dies and then like 2 seconds later Juliet dies. Three people died in under four pages. I can't believe Paris and Romeo would kill themselves because they *thought* Juliet was dead. You think that people would be able to tell that Juliet actually wasn't dead, she was just under sleep potion. But I guess this was a looooong time ago. And Juliet killing herself came as a shock to me, I mean I knew she was going to do it, I just thought she'd think about her decision for a second. On page 111 I kind of did a double take when it says she stabs herself and falls on Romeo's body. When barely two minutes before she JUST found out Romeo was dead. Surprisingly, I don't really feel bad for Romeo and Juliet. I thought they were both kind of dumb. Loved the play as a whole though! First Shakespeare I've ever read, and man, he's pretty darn good. :)
