Romeo and Juliet: Sixth Post (Final Thoughts)
The end of the play was interesting. For some reason Paris’s death was made into an accident, which works but seems odd (that was strong glass to completely pierce through Paris’s torso, yet Romeo shattered it easily just before). Maybe it was to try and make Romeo look like a good guy? With all the death, you’d think more official proceedings would need to happen in this situation. If this is modern-day and the Prince is a cop, why can the Prince just hand down judgement and punishments? Doesn’t he answer to someone? Isn’t there a justice system of some kind? It’s very weird!
