The End......of Romeo and Juliet

I overall disapprove the ending of Romeo and Juliet because I feel that there were to many uncalled for deaths. I believe that Paris's death was unnecessary because his role in the play did not seem significant enough for him and Romeo to fight in the end and result in his death. The way I would have wrote the play would have Paris in Verona weeping for Juliet's death.

Also, Romeo's mother's death was really random and only is mentioned in 3 lines. It would not have taken anything away from the play if it was not in the story. Yes, Romeo and Juliet's deaths were inevitable but Romeo's mother was not a main character and her death was not necessary to the story line.

I agree with you on the amount of deaths in the final scene. The page before each scene said The Tragety of Romeo and Juliet, not the tragety of paris and lady montague.
