"We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace." ~William Ewart Gladstone
The
message of this quote is so powerful that upon reading the classic story
of Romeo and Juliet I realized that in life and death L.O.V.E is truly
powerful. The story's ending was great but as a positivist I would have enjoyed
if the piece ended with a more positive note rather than a tragic one. In
my mind I've created an alternate ending to the story. And it would go like this:
After killing Paris, Romeo’s sadness of her wife’s death, Juliet came
back to a sudden. Extreme melancholy was filled in his heart, he curse himself
saying he is the reason for the death of her beloved. In this situation Friar
Lawrence showed up. The priest saw the corpse of Paris on the ground and Romeo’s
body with stains of blood which was surely came from deceased Paris. He went
near the solitary man and noticed a small bottle in the hand of Romeo. He found
out that it was a bottle of poison that Romeo will use to end up his existence.
The Friar stopped him and made it clear to him the whole story. He explained
the body of adored Juliet was dead and will revive after 42 hours and that he would
have admonished with the plan but the messenger was stranded for some favorable
excuses. In the midst of the conversation they heard a low murmuring voice, and
found out that it was Juliet the dear wife of Romeo. Romeo’s solitary moment
swiftly end and turned to glee. The couple enfolded each other tight.
But their problem was not yet solved. Before they realize to escape
the honored Capulet together with his lovely wife Lady Capulet arrived to visit
their daughter. Both sides were shocked
to what they have seen. The Capulet’s were confused, seeing their daughter
alive and Paris lying on the ground. They called the guards and ordered to arrest
Romeo for planning evil plots against their daughter. They sent Romeo to the
Prince of Verona. The Prince had a conversation with Romeo together with
Juliet. The couple clarified what happened and their secret relationship.
Consequently, the Prince of Verona called the two families; the
Capulets and Montagues. The Prince explained why their children experienced tremendous
depression. Thence, the prince ordered both families to come to terms. The two
families agreed to settle their feud in front of the royal courts and it brought
too much happiness to the prince. His gladness made him built a golden statue
of the couple that stands hitherto to show that true enough, love conquers all.
They say all in love and war is fair but I'll have to agree with what the Scripture say that L.O.V.E is still the greatest. :)
