Romeo and Juliet
"The After-Journey"
After Romeo killed himself, Paris stirs, waking up from his pretend death. He looks into the tomb and sees Juliet awake, mourning the death of her husband. Paris sensed a movement from behind the trees so he stood up and looked for a place to hide. From there he saw Friar Lawrence and his struggle to convince Juliet not to kill herself too. Juliet follows the Friar out of the tomb and they went to the Capulet’s home.
The Capulet’s were astonished to see Juliet alive. With Friar Lawrence and the Nurse’s testimonies, the whole story was told to the Head of Capulet. Soon enough, Paris followed to the mansion and everyone rejoiced at seeing the both of them alive.
On the other side, the Montague’s are grieving for Romeo’s death. They decided to leave Verona and go to Mantua to stay there for good, with all of their servants. No trace of the Montague’s was left in Verona. This action made way for peace.
Paris and Juliet were married soon after. Just weeks after the marriage, they found out that Juliet was pregnant. The Capulet’s held a grand party for this event. When the time came that Juliet was about to give birth, she had a hard time and died shortly after giving birth to a baby boy.
“Why is it that the boy doesn't look like you, Count Paris? He doesn’t look like my Juliet either.” The nurse exclaimed upon seeing the baby. This was ignored by the Capulet’s for they are too happy about the baby, but also grieving for Juliet’s death. Years passed by and the little boy is growing up. The unnoticed fact can’t be overlooked now. The boy sure looks like Romeo!
