Can you guys help me, DN has to write a page long alternate ending for Romeo and Juliet. Can you give him some ideas to build on, he's stumped and what better place to start than the DIS. Right? :surfweb:
No restrictions, on story line he says as long as its in good taste. Thanks!
 
How about Romeo finds Juliet dead, is glad that she's dead b/c he has been sending love notes to _________ (make up a name), a Paris Hilton type fun girl who lives in England. He decides to not kill himself, fully believing that Juliet's dead and won't know the difference anyway. He then tells everyone that Juiet was an obsessed and crazy psycho and that's why she killed herself. Romeo is stupid (like most men), doesn't hang out to see if Juliet's faking death so, he runs off to England to successfully pursue Paris Hilton type. Of course, Romeo is stupid enough to leave crypt door wide open, so once Juliet wakes up from her coma-like sleep, she is able to leave the crypt. Three days later, she wakes up, walks home and tells her family that they've been punk'd. Of course, they're mad as heck at her (and Ashton Kutcher) for doing that to them. Juliet decides to find Romeo to tell him he's been punk'd but hears the rumors that he's a dog and has left Verona for the Paris Hilton type. But those are rumors and nobody is sure of Romeo's exact whereabouts. One day, Juliet gets her issue of People magazine and splashed on the cover is Romeo w/Paris Hilton type. Juliet, truly mad that Romeo actually planned on killing her for real so he could hook up w/Paris Hilton type, high tails it to England where she poisons Romeo for being a dog, Paris Hilton type is accused of murder and good old Juliet has the last laugh.
 
Maybe Romeon find Juliet before she drinks the posion and they run away to Vegas and get married?
 

Hmmmmm :idea: What if the drink turned Juliet temporarly insane instead of near dead?

Or.

What if Romeo came in and saw Juliet "dead" and instead of grieving he actually celebrated and said "Bwa ha ha ha..my evil plan worked!" And he put down his dagger (which he planned to stab Juliet with) and did a little victory dance :woohoo: (or a poetic shakesperean speach). While he did this, he didn't notice that Juliet woke up and heard all of this and stabbed him with his OWN dagger and said, "Well take that, you lie'n stinking, cousin killing SOB!

Sorry, I'm seperated and not really into love stories I guess. ;)

All this was meant to be funny, in a dark humor sort of way but maybe it can spark some creative ideas!

Oh your's is way better than mine! :laughing:
 
Ok, you guys are nuts! :rotfl: I was just going to say let them live and get married and the families learn to live in harmony. I think I need to read less romance novels and start watching more soap operas! :lmao:
 
Thanks guys keep them coming, I'm printing them off and handing them to DN.
 
OR...

How about a Jerry Springer ending.

Romeo finally has a heart to heart with his dad and asks how this feud began. The dad tells him how about 13 years ago he had an affair with Juliet's mother and Juliet is actually his half sister!!! :scared1:
 
Set up the alternate ending a little earlier in the story. Romeo and Juliet meet and have an immediate dislike for each other. They go their separate ways, lead happy, productive lives and live well into their 80s.
 
Juliet listens to the Nurse's advice and marries Paris. Romeo comes back on their wedding night and kills him. Romeo is excecuted and Juliet drinks poison.
 
My freshman daughter is studing Romeo and Juliet also.
I am studying too, i guess. I am actually enjoying it.

We found a cool web site, thru SparkNotes, go to No fear Shakesphere and it has modern day text line for line..so you can actually decipher what they are saying.

We are on act 4.....so she is "dead" not really, but nobody know that she is NOT really dead.

Maybe she should run off with Friar Lawrence.......could happen you know! The potion he gave her was actually a LOVE potion to make Juliet fall in love with him!!!!
 
ok so i need some good funny alternate endings.... i've been told so far that romeo should also be a girl and that romeo and juliet are lesbians.... weird. and juliets father turns into a zombie. so romeo and juliet become zombie slayers and kills all the zombies... :confused3
 
Didn't Taylor Swift already cover this? :rolleyes2

(That's a joke, but I would bet quite a lot that several of the students in this class will end up using her version unless the instructor specifically told them not to.)
 
Isn't he supposed to use his own imagination and ideas? I think that's probably the point of the assignment. It's a creative writing assignment, hence the alternative ending requirement. There are so many people wanting help with their children's homework on this site. Homework is for the student. Sorry, this just bugs me.:rolleyes:

The thread is 5 years old - he's probably finished school by now (not that I disagree with your point).
