When the Capulets and Montagues walk into Juliet’s tomb they find Juliet and Romeo dead beside each other. The two families realized that the deaths of their only children were because of the hatred between their families it caused them to stop despising each other.

If the two families have just resolved their differences a long time ago Romeo and Juliet could have lived happily together but they sadly realized this after they lost their
