Answer:
Romeo decides to take his own life when he receives incorrect information that Juliet is dead.
Step-by-step explanation:
As you may already know, "Romeo and Juliet" is a play written by Shakespeare, which tells the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet, who were in love, but were members of rival families and therefore couldn't be together.
One of the peculiar characteristics of Shakespeare's plays is that they emphasize how lack of communication can lead to very negative situations and we can see this characteristic in "Romeo and Juliet," especially in the final events of the story.
The lack of communication and the passing of wrong information was what caused the death of Romeo and Juliet at the end of the play. That's because Juliet devised a plan together with Friar. The plan was for Juliet to pretend she was dead, which would allow her to run away with Romeo. The Friar was responsible for sending a note to Romeo explaining this plan, but this note was never received by Romeo, who received incorrect information that Juliet had actually died. This caused Romeo to take his own life and Juliet, seeing him dead, decided to die too.
