This Multigenre has multiple genres following one theme of Romeo and Juliet. The theme Shakespeare develops is "While love can bring happiness, it can be overpowering and lead to tragedy". This theme is displayed mostly in the interaction between the characters and internal thoughts. These genres connect because they all somehow display the overpowering nature of Romeo and Juliet's relationship. They also relate to and foreshadow the upcoming tragedy of Romeo and Juliet's love.

My dearest Juliet, you left us too soon. I wish I helped you more with what you were going through. Your father wished for you to marry, but little did he know. Thy heart was full of love for someone else. Your love was strong, but thou did not know how to handle it. Twas my duty to prepare you, and my one job I couldn't fulfill. Forgive me, my child, for I have failed thee as thy caretaker. I can only hope thou love for me from above hath not faltered, just as mine for you shall never fade.

Juliet's nurse was her closest friend and more of a mother to her than Lady Capulet ever was. Because of this, the nurse no doubt felt guilty for how Juliet died. Juliet repeatedly said how much she was against marrying Paris because of her deep love for Romeo. Before Juliet drank the poison, Friar Lawrence said to Juliet, "If, rather than to marry Count Paris, / Thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself, / then is it likely thou wilt undertake / a thing like death to chide away this shame” (Act 4, Scene 1). Juliet was so against marrying Paris that she would have rather killed herself. Although she didn't say this to the nurse directly, Juliet expressed to the nurse how she felt about the arranged marriage. She claimed how unhappy she would be and the nurse had already known how in love Juliet was with Romeo. Instead of coming up with a solution to get Juliet out of the situation, the nurse tried to encourage Juliet to marry Paris despite her feelings. These strong feelings of love are what drove Juliet over the edge in the end when she saw Romeo dead, ultimately leading to her killing herself.

In order to be able to run away with Romeo and not have to marry Paris, Juliet followed the friar's plan to drink a poison that made her appear dead until Romeo came to get her. When her family found her dead, Lord Capulet said, "Death is my son-in-law, Death is my heir" (Act 4, Scene 5). The Capulets were so excited to marry off Juliet to Paris, but she was so against it because of her love for Romeo that she faked her own death. This was a tragedy in the Capulet house, as they did not know that it was a plan to deceive them. Upon finding his daughter "dead", Capulet personified death as his son-in-law. The purpose of this was to emphasize how tragic Juliet's death was for him because she never got to marry Paris. Juliet was so overwhelmed by her parents wanting to marry her off to someone that she didn't love that she did what seemed like the only option. This choice was the reason that Romeo killed himself because he couldn't imagine a life without her.

Banishment? Propostery! How the stars must delight at the sound of my torture. To take me from my love, my heart, and to laugh in my face! A worse punishment than Death itself could bestow, to know my Juliet will live just out of my reach. The friar attempted to convince me that I shall be better off this way but he speaks nothing but lies. I'd rather have my life taken from me than to live another day on this land without my love by my side.

Throughout the entire play, Romeo was a very impulsive person and was driven by his strong emotions. An example of this was when he killed Tybalt to avenge Mercutio's death. His killing of Tybalt, though, led to him being banished from Verona. When Friar Lawrence told Romeo about his banishment, Romeo said, "Be merciful, say 'death'; / For exile hath more terror in his look" (Act 3, Scene 3). The reason Romeo was so upset about this banishment was because "every unworthy thing, / Live here in heaven and may look on her [Juliet] / But Romeo may not" (Act 3, Scene 3). Romeo was so blinded by the fact that he wouldn't be with Juliet he didn't understand that he lucked out by not being executed. So, instead of being grateful for being alive, Romeo convinced the friar that he needed to be with Juliet. This led to Friar Lawrence coming up with a plan to help Juliet run away with Romeo, which, in the end, caused both of their deaths.

What if Juliet wasn't as in love with Romeo as he was with her and wadn't willing to drink the poison?

Friar Lawrence: Drink this poison, and the entire town will think you're dead. I will come wake you from your sleep and you and Romeo can run off to Mantua together.

Juliet: I'm hesitant though. What if this poison really does kill me? My heart belongs to Romeo, but I don't think I'm willing to possibly lose my life just to have the chance to run away with him.

Friar: Oh, Juliet, I understand your fears, but I swear that this will work. Don't you want to be with Romeo? This is your only chance. We can't risk any other plan for fear that someone might discover our endeavors.

Juliet: Yes, I know my own heart, and it doesn't believe that I should throw away what I have to be with a man I fell in love with just days ago.

Friar Lawrence: Very well. But I shall send Romeo your way so you can at least let him know yourself.

[Romeo comes to meet Juliet]

Romeo: My Juliet, tell me it isn't true!

Juliet: But, alas, my love, it is. I cannot do it. I love thee with all my heart but I cannot risk my own life for thee.

Romeo: My love, I don't understand. How could thou say you love me and then tear my heart by making me leave thee? If thou really did love me with all thy heart, then you would do this for me. Please, Juliet. Do this for me.

Juliet: But how could I do this for just thee? I would resent myself for the rest of our days if I left everything behind and didn't do it for myself as well. And I say no. You should leave now before someone sees thee here. Know that I am sorry to have hurt thee, but not sorry for choosing my life over yours.

Romeo: Your "sorry"s mean nothing. They only make you seem regretful, for I know thou are not. I shall leave thee knowing that I had loved thee more than what you could ever reciprocate. Just know, Juliet, that I would have done it if our roles were reversed.

If the story had played out like this, with Juliet choosing her own life instead of Romeo, then neither of them would have died unnecessarily. In Act 4, when Juliet was about to drink the poison, she started to freak out and said, "What if it be a poison which the friar / Subtly hath ministered to have me dead" (Act 4, Scene 3). Juliet had fears that drinking the poison would end her life. However, in the play, she never acted on these fears. She let her love for Romeo overpower her fear and sense of reason. If she had realized how unreasonable this decision was, she would never have drunk the poison and maybe both she and Romeo would have been alive. In my alternate ending, Romeo said that he would have done it for Juliet. I think he would have said this because he was always driven by his emotions, so he wouldn't have thought twice before drinking the poison. This impulsive behavior driven by love is what got him killed in the end and into this situation in the first place.

This genre is a Pinterest Board that I imagined Juliet would make about the life she wanted with Romeo. When Juliet found out that Romeo had killed Tybalt and was banished, she said to the nurse, "But I, a maid, die maiden-widowed" (Act 3, Scene 2). Juliet had been married for barely 3 hours before hearing that she might never see her husband again. She was afraid she'd never get to enjoy married life with the love of her life. This fear caused her to feel like she missed out on everything that she was meant to do. Although this wasn't exactly true at the time she said this, it did end up being true by the end of the play. She was so in love with Romeo, but she never got to really "use" her love in her marriage.
