Our Love is Destined in Heaven

    These are the final thoughts of my life. I have lived a short life but a life that has never brought me any happiness. I was born as a Montague the ultimate cause of my death. Had this feud never happened we would be living in eternal happiness. I learned that Juliet was about to be married to Paris by Balthasar and this probably was her cause of death.
  Juliet and I were born to be together but it was too much of a mountain to climb. From the first time I met her, I saw an angel and she died an angel. I might be a madman but love is the greatest feeling ever. Juliet and I will never be happy on Earth but in heaven we will.

My Death Awaits

bottle of poisonI still have power to write about my misgivings as I want to show both families what they have caused. This strife has caused my love to be dead, and I will surely avenge for this loss. I had gone to the apothecary who has given a strong potion. He at first declined but I persuaded him by giving him some money.
I still have that feeling that I can revive Juliet back to life but miracles have never seem to work. Friar Lawrence could have done something for this tragedy to happen but it was all my fault. I should have never killed Tybalt in the first place and this cost me the dear life of my love.

Act 5-News has arrived

I had one of the weirdest dreams last night. I was murdered by some men and left alone on a road. Soon, Benvolio found me and quickly took me to a doctor. I was pronounced dead and had a funeral. While I was lying in my casket, Juliet appeared and kissed me. She had made me risen from death just by a kiss.
 After Days and Days  of Hell, someone has arrived to induce my mind with some knowledge. I currently writing and a man has arrived on a horse. He takes his hat off and I see that it is my dear servant Balthasar, I ask him if he brings me letters from the Friar, How is Juliet? and How is my family? Balthasar spoke and told me that Juliet lay dead in Capulet's monument. How could this happen, How could God defy me!!!
I tell Balthasar to get on a horse and wait for me. Juliet and I will lay with each tonight and for this to happen I go to the apothecary.

Another Day Another Dawn

Throughout my time here in Mantua and all these things I have reflected, I became quite close to God. My life has always been so complicated and love has been one of my major problems. I've never had anyone to take me out of my problems except Friar Lawrence but over here in Mantua, God has been helping me get through this.
 It was never really my fault to kill Tybalt, I was just doing what was best for my future. It seems like I have my death occur here in Mantua but the thing that is driving me through this obstacle is Juliet. No one has probably ever gone through as many problems as me and Juliet have.

Reflecting on Myself

I've had a lot of time to reflect on myself as a person. I looked at how fast I moved on from Rosaline to Juliet and all these other things. Rosaline was really quite a beauty but in the end she really was not worth it. When I met Juliet it seems like I actually had someone who cared a whole lot about me. Another plus about her was that she accepted me right away.
 I wonder what would have happened hath I not killed Tybalt. I would certainly be in Verona living with my Juliet. Even without this murder, I realized there is not anyway for me and Juliet to see each other everyday. We'd have to make our family rivalry disappear and this seems like an impossible task.

Act 4-Loneliness

   I am now living here in these filthy streets of Mantua. There has really been no news that I feel I can talk about. Everyday passes by in lonliness and boredom. I roam around in these plainless grounds just doing nothing.
   There has been a heaviness of plague spreading by around towns and I'm starting to get scared. Even if death does come,I'd die not scared but happy because of how I am living right now.

Our Honeymoon

The day was nothing but worthless but the night seemed to have brought happiness. I headed to Juliet's window and climbed up into her room. We talk with each other laying in each other's arms. She tells me if I will ever come back and I vow her that our love is too strong for us too never meet again. Banishment is just a small obstacle that we will overcome.
The night passed by and it was morning, I opened my eyes to see Juliet's face thinking that I might not be able to see it again. I give her a kiss and the sleeping beauty awakes. I rise and change and hear steps coming, I talk to Juliet and promise everything will be ok and give her what could be one of our final moments of joy.

My Fate

 I was so distraught over all the events that had happend today. I knew there was to be some sort of punishment arriving from the Prince. I went to Friar Lawrence's cell to find out the outcome of my fate. Father seemed to be shaking and very conflicted. He told me that my sentence would my banishment from the city of Verona. Banishment is just another way of saying Death. There is nothing for me outside of Verona my life has just became torturous. How could I stay away from Juliet?
   The prince was foolish with his decision I had done everything right. It was equal tragedy for both of us families. But it could have been due to Mercutio being of the Prince's own blood. I had been just married and soon Tybalt was murdered. There was a knock on the door and I quickly hid in a closet. I see it is the Nurse and ask her if Juliet thinks I'm a murderer. She tells me that Juliet cries and cries about Tybalt but does not hate me. The Nurse leaves by giving me a ring, something that I can be hopeful about. I give my final goodbye to Friar Lawrence and anticipate for my honeymoon with Juliet.

Act 3- The Fight of Mercutio and Tybalt

  It was a bright day that I cannot forget my whole life as I had just gotten married. Tonight was going be my honeymoon with Juliet. I was wandering through town and came to a public place. There I saw Mercutio, Benvolio, and Tybalt, Juliet's cousin, who now is part of my family. Tybalt called me a villian for some reason and I answered saying I intend for know talking. I told him that I respect him and we don't need to have anysort of rivarly. Tybalt accepted my statements and was about to leave when Mercutio intervened and called Tybalt a coward. They soon drawed their swords and started fighting. I warned them that the Prince has forbidden fighting. I caught hold of Tybalt who soon stabbed Mercutio and fled. I sat helpless holding dying Mercutio who wished of plague to happen to both of our houses.
  Benvolio took Mercutio to the nearest doctor. I thought to myself how could have become so soft due to Juliet's love, this softness had gotten my dearest ally greatly hurt.Benvolio came back to tell me the news of Mercutio's death. I had never felt so much greif at once. I had to take revenge for Mercutio's soul to Rest in Peace!
 Tybalt came back and it was either that me or him must go to God with Mercutio. We drew our swords and after fighting Tybalt was the one going with Mercutio. I thought for a second what a fool I am, I just killed my love's cousin!

The Marriage

I haven't been this happy my whole life. I can't wait to go meet Mercutio and Benvolio and show them how much I have changed. I went out to the street and found them both. They started talking all these foolish things with me it seemed as if they were drunk. Soon, I saw an old lady along with a servant who was carrying an umbrella with her, I knew this was the messenger. Mercutio and Benvolio started poking fun at the lady and I am pretty sure they messed up my image. She started by telling me how she can beat the hell out of my 2 friends and I quickly tried to calm her down.
   The nurse seemed to be in a hurry and I told her that Juliet shall meet me at Father Lawrence's cell and there we shall be married. She gave me a warning not to do any wrong with Juliet since there is Paris who the nurse prefers over me. I tell her that Juliet will always be happy when she is with me.
    Later, I quickly got dressed up and was headed for the Friar's cell. The church was decorated and I was anxious. Father was happy that he was doing this for us and knew the outcome would be a good one. Juliet arrived and we headed to another room to exchange vows to make us one.

Father Lawrence's Church

I have very few people in my life that matter to me a lot and one of them is Father Lawrence. Every time I have had to deal with a hardship he has been there to help me out but today was a different matter. Once I entered the cell, Father was in shock he knew I had not slept all night and he thought I was with Rosaline. I told him how Rosaline was nothing to me anymore and a name I have forgot. Juliet was my new love and I told Father who was surprised at what a change had happened to me. He said of how love doesn't lie in my heart but in my eyes.
  I brought the subject of marriage to the father and he thought that I was joking but I really meant it. Father thought for a while and realized this partnership could actually work. Our marriage might be able to resolve the never-ending feud in our family. I talk in joy but Father tells me "Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast."

Act 2- Sneaking Into Her House

   The party was a blast and I went outside. I had to see the fair Juliet who's name I figured out, one more time. There was a wall that lead to the backyard and I climbed over it into a garden. Benvolio and Mercutio were looking for me but I thought being with Juliet was more important for me. Slowly, I crouch through the woods and land below a balcony. I see Juliet and see a lady that is like the Sun and an Angel. Later, she starts speaking of me, she says Why am I a Montague but it does not matter to her since it is just a name. I come out of the shadow and tell her that I don't care if she is a Capulet either and give her my word that our rivalries will not interfere in our love. She tells me it is too dangerous for me to be here but I tell her that love has no boundaries. I climbed up to her balcony and asked her for satisfaction.
   For a moment, I thought it was a bad move but then I quickly told her that I want the satisfaction of a vow and she gives me it. The nurse calls from within and we kiss once again. Juliet tells me that she will send her nurse to me tomorrow for the details of our wedding and I tell her Good Night.  I decide to go my father's cell for his advice.

The Night My Life Changed

     The party was going to be quite extravagant so we dressed up nicely and many of us Montagues gathered to go this event. Once we were near the palace, Mercutio, one of my trustworthy friends appeared. Benvolio told Mercutio of my situation and Mercutio advised me that "If love be rough with you, be rough with love". Mercutio gave me this whole speech that seemed to last forever. His speech were full of fiery descriptions of love and gave me quite a lesson. Before we entered, there came a thought in my mind that my days in life might be numbered.
    We entered the palace and all received masks for this secretive event. Capulet came on to the scene and told everyone to have the best night of their lives. I roamed around looking at the fair women who were dancing but I still didn't see anything special about them. I thought of looking for Rosaline but I realized it was a waste of time.
Suddenly, I saw this beauty a lady who seemed to have come from the heavens, the most fairest thing a man can ever see." Her Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!". I knew this was the missing piece my young life always wanted as "For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night".
   I quickly went around looking for her, trying to get her to be alone with me in one place and that opportunity arrived. I grabbed her hand and told of her softness and beautiful lips. She tells me "Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much" and I told her that holy men in fact do have the right to love. Soon, I give her one of the most passionate kiss of our lives. A lady tells her that her mother is calling her and I ask who her mother is and I learn that she is a Capulet!. Another obstacle had come in my way but I was determined to overcome this as my new love was written in my destiny.

Little Bit of Hope


     Benvolio has promised me that he will do everything in his power for me to forget about Rosaline and I feel like I have something to be happy about. We were roaming the streets of Verona, when a Capulet servant came up to us. He was illiterate and asked us if we can help him identify names that were written on a paper. I started reading the names on the list and next thing you know there was the name of Rosaline. The servant was so thankful that he invited us to the party not knowing we were Montagues.
    At first, I contemplated going to this party but I was excited to know Rosaline was at this party. Soon, I decided it would be a benefit for me to go as Benvolio was advising me to compare her face to the numerous faces of the fair women of Verona.

Act 1-Romeo's Depression

       I walk along this coastline thinking about only one thing, and that is Rosaline. How could a woman so beautiful and an angel decide to be a woman who dedicates her life only in God's service?. If me and her were to be married we'd have the most beautiful children in the world but unfortunately this legacy will never occur. I can't take this no more, there seems to be no more reason for me to live anymore.
      This is the loneliest I have ever felt my whole life. They say that your mother is the only one you can ever trust but in my case it seems as if my mother doesn't even care about me. My father, Lord Montague, is nothing to me even though he is my father. Father, I cannot call him as he commands me to call him Lord. Benvolio is a great man to me as I feel like I can talk to him about anything. My parents seemed to have told him to help me out, why can't they take the lead. Benvolio tells me that the world has not ended and that their other girls out there more beautiful than Rosaline. The thing these days is that all of the girls out there are just  not my type. Rosaline is the first girl that brought the fire out of me.
