She thought that the Friar in an attempt to avoid the blame which might be imputed to him for marrying her to Romeo had given her poison. She thought that she might wake before the time Romeo was to come for her and the terror of the place, a vault full of dead Capulets’ bones, and where Tybalt, all bloody, lay festering in his shroud, would be enough to drive her mad.

Romeo received the news that Juliet was dead before getting the Friar’s message that it was all a farce so he though immediately of dying. He would poison himself and lay with her for all eternity.

While Romeo is trying to open the Capulet’s vault, he is caught by Count Paris
