No, there would be no way for them to live happily ever after. If their plan had worked then they would have had to live in hiding for the rest of their lives and they would have had to do it without the help of their families. This is what makes it such a beautiful tragedy and that is why the only way for them together was in death, and that is why that is the ending that Shakespear chose. And if it had ended happily it would have lost its reality and it would be a fairytale. Shakespear did not write a simple fairytale, he wrote a story of true love with realistic characters.... Besides if it had a happy ending then it would have just been another chick-flick and would not have been such a blockbuster.

Yes, if Juliet got the message that Romeo was only drugged to seem dead and they went away together to live somewhere else

Romeo and Juliet were teenagers and we know how intense those years can be - hormones and all. Given time and release of anxiety other solutions could be found.

If there would have been a happy ending, would it have had as much impact as it did? I don't think we would be talking about their story today if there was a happy ending. Their tragedy is what made them famous, otherwise they would just be regular people who fell in love and ended up together. The fact that they died for eachother, makes their love unique, special, and a story to remember for centuries.

Hardly possible since its author intended it to be a tragedy. You really do not want to rewrite Shakespeare's play, do you? Trying to give it a happy ending would defeat the purpose of the play. NOT a good idea.

o, there definitely could be! Friar Laurence's plan could have worked (if Friar John had delivered the letter to Romeo)

Yes, there could be -- but it would spoil a good play (unless you turned in into a musical where it is obligatory to have a happy ending).

It did have a happy ending, bwah ha ha. Seriously, like a previous poster said it would've been nice if they didn't kill themselves.
