Detailed explanation-1: -Juliet sees Romeo dead beside her, and surmises from the empty vial that he has drunk poison. Hoping she might die by the same poison, Juliet kisses his lips, but to no avail. Hearing the approaching watch, Juliet unsheathes Romeo’s dagger and, saying, “O happy dagger, / This is thy sheath, ” stabs herself (5.3. 171).
Detailed explanation-2: -Juliet waits impatiently for night to fall so that she can celebrate her wedding night with Romeo. The Nursearrives and in her grief, misleads Juliet into thinking that Romeo has been killed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Juliet then wakens from her death-like sleep and looks for Romeo, saying, “Where is my Romeo?” Upon seeing the bodies of Romeo and Paris, she resolves to remain in the tomb. The Friar tries in desperation to convince Juliet to leave as the night watchman approaches, but Juliet refuses.
Detailed explanation-4: -In a desperate attempt to be reunited with Romeo, Juliet follows the Friar’s plot and fakes her own death.

The grieving family agree to end their feud.
Detailed explanation-5: -When Juliet misunderstands the Nurse and thinks that Romeo is dead, she does not think that he was killed, but that he killed himself. And thinking that Romeo is dead, Juliet quickly decides that she too must die. Her love for Romeo will allow no other course of action.
