“Death” is never a word including positive spirit and it is against anything that is “alive”.The word “death “ itself repeats several times in Act 3 scene 2. It represents a distinct transition of the story: Juliet suddenly changes from anxiously waiting for Romeo to helplessness when she knew Romeo killed her cousin Tybalt and was banished from the city, “Death” foreshadows the ending of the story as well. The sentence “and death, not Romeo, take my maidenhead” forebodes the ending that the lovers will be separated by death, and death will be both of their final destinations.
