til' fate shall do us part

There were only a few people left standing in the end.  After everything that had been going on between Romeo and Juliet, it seemed like no one could live with themselves.  Juliet's first "death" already began causing tention, and with her second real "death" everyone became suspicious. Untimately though, it is Friar's fate that will never be forgotten because his so called "plan" turned out to be all wrong.
For instance, in the last act when everyone in Verona hears about what has just happened, and the Montagues and Capulets run out in shock, Friar has no choice but to clarify things, and tell the truth. So he affirms,

                                        "The gave I her, so tutor'd by my art,
                                        A sleeping potion; which so took effect
                                        As I intended, for wrought in her
                                        The form of death. meantime I writ to Romeo,
                                        That he should hither come as this dire night
                                        To help to take her from her borrowed grave,"
                                        being the time the potion's force should cease(Shakespeare 298).
When the people of Verona heard this, the Capulets immediately had Friar banished from Verona however not to Mancua, but another city in the middle of nowhere. There he would be thrown in jail for the rest of his life and left to die.

Another person who suffered with fate was Nurse. Nurse was a like a mom to Juliet, and after finding out what happened to Juliet she was traumatized. For illustration, after Juliet's first, fake death,  Nurse was very upset, and by her being upset showed her love for Juliet and how much she cared for her. She especially shows her feelings by crying out,

                                          "O woe! O woeful, woeful, woeful day!
                                          Most lamentable day, most woeful day,
                                          That ever, ever, I did yet behold!
                                          O day! O day! O day! O hateful day!
                                          Never was seen so black a day as this.
                                          O woeful day, O woeful day!"(256).
In other words, Juliets real death left Nurse to live a life of grief, and later on she ended was put out of the Capulets house because they felt like she had something to do with a Juliet's death, and that made her no longer their servant.

Lastly, there was Lord Capulet, whose fate was probably worse than Nurses. In the end, both he and Lady Capulet lost all of their house keepers, servants, and chefs which left them with nobdy so the Capulets weren't those rich, powerful people that everybody knew anymore. For example, when Lord Capulet says to one of the servants, "Make haste, make haste!" this shows him in a way as being controlling. Therefore it is obvious why everyone would want to stop working for the Capulets(248).

In conclusion, these three chracters suffered with very hurtful feelings. Feelings that made a total transition in their lives, and changed them forever. As said before, fate is a terrible thing that can later come back and haunt you.
