Act 5: Scene 3

The last two lines of the play, "For there was never a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo," truly reached out to me. These lines really explain how tragic the play is, and how heartbreaking it is to read or watch it. When their plan to be with each other forever fails, and they both end up dead, this quote is basically saying there's nothing more devastating than that. Romeo and Juliet only wished to be with each other forever, but their family's feuding got in the way of that. Because their love was ill-fated, their story is considered the most tragic of all.

  1. I also agree that this quote is supposed to show that this play is a tragedy. This line to me is really crucial to the play.
