Romeo arrives at Juliet's tomb, only to find Paris there. Obviously, the two men aren't on the best of terms, so they duke it out and in the end Paris is killed. Then Romeo, believing Juliet to be dead, takes the poison and steals one last kiss from Juliet before dying. Coincidentally, Juliet awakes just as Romeo is dying, and she kills herself with his dagger. So now both Romeo and Juliet have taken their own lives, and their families find them. When the two families come together, Friar Lawrence recounts how the two were in love and got married.
In the end, one good thing came out of the deaths of the two lovers. Capulet and Montague decided that the hostility between the two families was at an end and they could live in peace. Its a bummer that both Romeo and Juliet had to die for the two families to get along, but the story of their love makes an awesome book, and I guarantee I will read it several more times.
