Reading responce to Romeo and Juliet

so far in the book Rome and Juliet I'm finished. But since scene 3 Romeo after being wed to Juliet got into a fight with Tybalt (Juliet's cousin) and killed him because Tybalt killed Mercutio. After the prince heard this he spared Romeos life and banished him from Verona. when the news got to Juliet she became hysterical and confused because she didn't know if she should hate Romeo because he killed her cousin, or love him because he was her husband. when romeo found out about his banishment he to became hysterical and suicidal, until Juliet's nurse told Romeo to see Juliet for the last time. So Romeo and Juliet spent the night together and the next day Romeo left for Mantua. Meanwhile Capulet and Paris had a conversation about arranging a wedding between Juliet and Paris on Thursday. When Juliet heard of this arranged marriage she tried to tell her father to spot the marriage. Capulet then got angry and started calling Juliet names and he told her that if she didn't marry Paris, he would throw her out of his house. hearing this Juliet became suicidal but went to Friar Lawrence to see if he had any ideas. He did. He told her to drink a poison that would make her look like she was dead for 42 hours, while he wrote a letter to Romeo saying that he would sneak into Verona and take Juliet's body from her tomb as she woke up and they would runaway together to live in Mantua. But things took an unexpected turn. Juliet took the poison and was put in a family tomb, but in Mantua Romeo was told that Juliet killed herself. So Romeo went to Verona to see her body. Meanwhile Paris goes to Julie ts tomb to mourn over her "dead" body, but when he hears Romeo walking into the cellar he hides. When he sees Romeo the killer of Tybalt he battles him and gets killed by romeo. Romeo then kills himself (after seeing Juliet's dead body)  by drinking poison. The poison soon wears off of Juliet and she wakes up seeing romeos dead body beside her. she then takes out a dagger and stabs herself with it ultimately killing herself. The police come and the prince finds out about what happened. and Montague and Capulet come together and stop fighting.
