不幸的是，这段爱情并未得到祝福。在一次争斗中，罗密欧的好友墨丘西奥被朱丽叶的表兄提伯尔特杀害，愤怒的罗密欧随即杀死了提伯尔特，被迫逃离维罗纳。与此同时，朱丽叶的父亲为了迫使她嫁给帕里斯伯爵，逼迫她违心接受这门婚事。
绝望之中，朱丽叶求助于神父劳伦斯，他给了她一种能够使人陷入假死状态的药剂。按照计划，朱丽叶服下药剂后将被埋入家族墓穴，而罗密欧则会收到消息赶来接她。然而，由于信使未能及时将消息送达罗密欧，罗密欧误以为朱丽叶已死，悲痛欲绝之下返回维罗纳，并在墓穴中与朱丽叶的“尸体”相伴。当朱丽叶醒来时，发现身旁的罗密欧已经中毒身亡，悲愤交加的她随即拔剑自尽。
这对年轻情侣的死亡震惊了整个维罗纳，也让两个家族意识到仇恨带来的惨痛代价。最终，蒙太古和凯普莱特两家握手言和，以纪念这对勇敢追求真爱的年轻人。
