dam romeo and juliet took a dark turn

This entire scene was filled with dramatic irony. One example is when Romeo thinks that Juliet is dead. We know that she is in fact not dead, just under a poisonous sleep. I was on the edge of my seat because if Juliet would have woken up any earlier, they could have had a happy life in Mantua.
