| Juliet¹s dead movement
| Juliet slightly
moves her fingers before she fully awakens and then touches Romeo's cheek at the same
time he drank the poison
| Juliet does not move, but In the end, I think it is important to note, that while Juliet does not
move, it is apparent to everyone but Romeo (well, he sees it, but does not
understand it), that Juliet is still alive. The color is beginning to
return to her face. "Even death hath no power yet upon thy beauty. Death's
pale flag hath not advanced there." He even goes so far as to comment upon
the redness of her cheeks and lips.
|
| Juliet awakens
| just as Romeo drinks poison
| when the Friar arrives and a few minutes after Romeo drinks
the poison |
| Juliet kills herself
| gun to her head
| with a dagger to her side/chest |
