Do your own homework. You obviously never read the end of the book.

It is their fate for the two of them to die together (shakespeare says this in the very first scene). The reason for their death was to bring an end to the feud between the two families.
If the two had gotten married and simply lived on, they would have been banished from their families and no one else would have gotten any healing.
When the families saw that their children were dead, it changed everything. In this case, neither side could blame the other because the two had committed suicide. They realized that this feud had gone too far, that their children were literally dying to get out of it, and theie grief brought them together.
Because of the two dying, both families decided to change, and that brought about a healing for everyone.
You talk about the times in the play where the plot could have changed. I believe that if the characters had done something else, it might have changed things temporarily, but eventually they would have ended up in the same place. Romeo and Juliet were in love, and no matter where they were or who they were married to, they still would have tried to see each other, and eventually it would have killed them.

The messenger of Friar Lawrence does not reach Romeo, due to a quarantine. Instead, Romeo learns of Juliet's supposed "death" from his manservant Balthasar. Grief-stricken, he buys strong poison from an Apocotheary, returns to Verona in secret, and goes to the crypt, determined to join Juliet in death. There he encounters Paris, who has also come to mourn privately for his lost love. Paris assumes that Romeo has come to defile the Capulets' crypt and challenges him to a duel. Romeo kills Paris, and then drinks the poison after seeing Juliet one last time, exclaiming: " O true Apocotheary! Thy drugs are quick! Thus with a kiss I die."

At this point Juliet awakes and, seeing the dead, seeks answers. Friar Lawrence arrives, and tries to convince Juliet to come with him, but she refuses. He is frightened by a noise, and leaves Juliet alone in the crypt. The pain and shock of Romeo's death is too much for Juliet, and she stabs herself with his dagger. The two lovers lie dead together.

And that's My Best Answer!
