Death

First of all, there is one thing that needs to be clarified; Juliet and Romeo is married. In ancient time, women could hardly get divorced, especially in rich families, like Capulets and Montagues. Also, women could hardly find a job, so their husbands meant everything for them. It is so cruel that Juliet could not see her "everything" again. Moreover, Juliet is in love with Romeo; she cannot even stand not seeing him for a day. Juliet says:"That 'banished', that one word 'banished', hath slain ten thousand Tybalts. " Indeed, Juliet loves Romeo. Now Romeo is banished, she may not have a chance to see him again. This makes Juliet feel extremely sorrowful. In addition, for Capulets, the name, Romeo only means a cruel killer who kills their lovely relative, Tybalt. Therefore, even though Romeo is not banished, Capulets still can not accept him. These things actually makes Juliet feel hopeless. Even if Romeo does not die, they cannot see each other again, and her family will never accept him. For Juliet, there is no difference between being banished and death. Death is even easier for her, because she will not be tortured like this. Secondly, the word, "death" also foreshadows the sad ending, which is Juliet and Romeo both die. In the end, Juliet and Romeo die together.
