A comic relief ending of Romeo and Juliet

      In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, a long feud between the Montague and Capulet families disrupts the city of Verona and causes tragic results for Romeo and Juliet. Revenge, love, and a secret marriage force the young star-crossed lovers to grow up quickly — and fate causes them to commit suicide in despair. Contrast and conflict are running themes throughout Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet — one of the Bard's most popular romantic tragedies. But what will happen if the ending of this play will be the total opposite?

      I may not be as legendary or great as Shakespeare when it comes to writing but I will try to manipulate the story to give it a funny ending. I will start the twist with the scene Romeo bought a poison. The apothecary was so nice that he can’t let a young lad die so he will just give Romeo a bottle of water without Romeo knowing about this he continues on. On the Capulet tomb he will encounter Paris but he will pretend as a maintenance staff and tells a lie that he was there for a cleaning service.So Paris will go away, on his way home he realizes that he can still marry some other woman keeping in mind that he is masculine and handsome enough. While Romeo was there he told his final words and drunk all the poison. After few minutes he wondered why he was still alive and sobs. At that moment Juliet awakened and was so glad to find Romeo beside her. They were so happy and hugged each other.

      Friar Lawrence came and was so surprised. Then the Capulets came in crying they were so surprised with what they saw, they were so angry with Romeo at that time but Friar Lawrence came up with an idea he invented a very nice story telling that Romeo was the one who revived Juliet, because of too much happiness the Capulet thanked Romeo for bringing their only child back to life. The feud ended and as a reward they forced Juliet to marry Romeo not knowing that they were really in love with each other.

That was my own version of ending Romeo and Juliet in Comic Relief style.
