Romeo and Juliet Alternate ending (replacing Act 4 and on)
Juliet runs to Friar Laurence and begs for guidance. Friar Laurence has a plan. He will speak to the Prince, a reasonable man, and get Romeo one more night in Verona so that
Romeo might have a chance to apologize to Juliet’s parents for the death of Tybalt. The
Prince agrees as one last hope of a truce between the two feuding families. Friar Laurence then tells Romeo about a potion that will make it seem as if one is dead for 42 hours. The plan is that on the night of the dinner Romeo will sneak through Juliet’s bedroom and into the kitchen and poison the rim of Lord Capulet’s wine glass. Paris is to be invited to the dinner and Juliet will tell him that he needs to impress the Nurse and that he should do so by preparing the cups and pouring the wine. Therefore framing Paris for the poison. When Lord
Capulet falls “dead” The Nurse is to accuse Paris followed by Juliet and Romeo. Soon the whole family will believe that Paris killed Lord Capulet and he will be hauled off to jail. Romeo will then tell Juliet’s parents that his friend Friar John has a potion that if administered in 42 hours will revive him. Romeo then returns to Friar Laurence who gives him a vial full of lavender water that looks like potion. Romeo returns, pours the vial down Lord Capulet’s throat right when he is to wake up and BOOM, Instant hero. That night the plan goes according to plan and Lord Capulet is alive and well and forever in debt to Romeo. The Prince reverses Romeo’s exile on account of his “heroism” and the peace between the Capulets and the Montagues. The feud between the two families is over, Romeo and Juliet are free to live their lives in love, and poor Paris rots in jail an innocent man that nobody believes.

    Rather he kept on endeavoring to keep Romeo and Juliet together. The arrangement he prepared for this, be that as it may, was childish, half-baked, and unsafe. Monk Laurence formulated the arrangement in flurry and in franticness on the grounds that Juliet was there in the minister's nearness undermining suicide as opposed to wed Paris. "Unless thou disclose to me how I may anticipate it. /If, in thy shrewdness thou canst give no help,/Do however call my determination savvy,/And with this blade I'll help it by and by" (4.1.51-54). To conciliate Juliet, Friar Laurence gave her an elixir to expend that would empower her to pretend passing, along these lines turning away marriage to Paris. He, in the interim would send a note to Romeo educating him of the deception that was being executed on the Capulets and Paris, and requesting that Romeo meet him at the cemetery where Juliet would welcome them fit as a fiddle. Sadly, the message never arrived. This was uncovered when Friar John told Friar Laurence, " I couldn't send it, here it is again/Nor get an errand person to bring it thee" (5.2.14-15). Monk Laurence clearly had not told the delivery person the significance of the letter achieving Romeo. What's more, if Friar Laurence had taken after the first assention he made with Romeo: "Visit in Mantua; I'll discover your man,/Every great hap…
