Romeo and Juliet meet a tragic end. Here's what happens to them:
1. Duel: Romeo gets involved in a street brawl with Tybalt (a cousin of Juliet) and ends up killing him. To punish him, the Prince of Verona banishes Romeo from the city.
2. Miscommunication: While in exile, Romeo receives false news about Juliet's death and falls into despair. He obtains poison and returns to Verona to be with his beloved Juliet.
3. Juliet's Scheme: Juliet, who is actually still alive, has decided to fake her death to escape the arranged marriage with Paris. She drinks a sleeping potion that makes her appear dead.
4. Romeo's Suicide: Romeo arrives at the Capulet family crypt, believes Juliet to be dead, and is unable to bear living without her. He drinks the poison and dies.
5. Juliet's Awakening: Juliet awakens from the sleep potion just as Romeo has taken the poison. She discovers his body and is overcome with grief.
6. Final Tragic Act: Juliet decides to take her own life rather than live without Romeo. She stabs herself with Romeo's dagger and joins him in death.
The lovers' deaths lead to the end of their families' feud. The tragic events highlight the consequences of extreme passion, impulsiveness, and the inability of the feuding families to overcome their differences.
