irony?

I think it's ironic that Juliet's parents wish her "married
to her grave" (you'll have to look up the quote), because they
definitely get what they ask for. One interpretation of the play
also involves Juliet's awakening just before Romeo dies from the
poison, allowing him a horrific moment of ironic realization
just before he dies...
