This scene is important because of the most obvious reason, the two main characters, Romeo and Juliet, die. Of course when the two lovers die, it means the play has ended. Also, the death of the two lovers finally made the Capulets and Montagues stop fighting, this shows us the irony because neither of them had to die, but Romeo had acted with haste and killed himself before juliet had woken up. And when Juliet saw that Romeo was dead, killed herself. Also, the fact that the famillies decided to come to an agreement AFTER the two lovers were killed, was sort of ironic. This scene shows us the amount of sacrifices(Romeo, Juliet, Mercutio, Tybalt, and Lady Montague)that were needed to finally get the two famillies together.
