JULIET

Today started out as such an amazing day but ended with pain, death, and suffering. I had just married my beloved Romeo. I was happiest girl in Verona. Nothing could bring me down, or so I thought. I wished the sun would hurry up and set so night would come immediately. I wanted night to come so my beloved Romeo would come and leap into my arms. I could not stop dreaming about my love. When my nurse came in I was waiting to see what news she had about Romeo. She had the rope ladder that Romeo had told her to fetch. She looked so upset like she had just witnessed someone she loved die in front of own eyes. She just keep screaming, “He’s been killed! He’s dead!” She would not tell me what happened. Then the next sentence that came out of her mouth, broke my heart. The nurse said, “Romeo, who would have thought it would have been you.” I keep asking her what had happened to Romeo. It was torture waiting. But what she told me next was the worst news I could have ever been told. She had been talking about Tybalt while I was trying to see what happened to my poor Romeo. She then said, “I wish I had not lived long enough to see him dead.” My heart sank to the bottom of the ocean, as deep as it could go. Tybalt, my cousin, my blood, dead but, I still did not know what happened to my beloved husband. I keeped questioning the nurse then she finally answered. That is when my heart shattered to pieces and could never be fixed again. My dear cousin killed my husband. Romeo had been banished. I had lost two people that I loved, Romeo and Tybalt. I was angry at Romeo but how could I stay that way. He was not born that was and it was not his fault. Nurse told me how I could I say such good things about the man that killed my cousin, but he was also my husband. The banishment of my love is worse than the death of ten thousand Tybalts. The nurse told me to go to my room and wait. She was going to find my husband to comfort me tonight. Hours later, when it was finally night, Romeo came. My poor Romeo, why do want to leave so soon. It is barely daybreak. You had barely heard the nightingale my love not the lark. He had said it was the lark, the bird that sings at dawn, and told me if he would stay his death would come. Our only chance to see eachother was if he left. The nurse came in, saying my mother wanted to speak to me. Romeo had to leave before my mother saw him. Romeo had just told me to give one more kiss and then a farewell goodbye. My mother came in and asked me if I was going to cry over my cousins death forever. She called my husband a villian for killing Tybalt. I had to act like I was mad at my love because my family still does not know about our marriage. If my grief was not enough, my mother and my father decided that I must marry Paris. I said thank you but I refused to marry him. My father was very angry. He said that I was a disobedient and worthless girl. My father told me that if I do not marry Paris, I can not live under his roof. He told me I can beg, starve, and die in the streets. He sweared on his soul that he would never take me back. I could never believe that god could bestow such pain and suffering in one day. Why me?

STATUS: “Delay this marriage for a month, a week; / Or if you do not, make the bridal bed / In that dim monument where Tybalt lies.” (​R&J​, III:V ln 200-202)

REPLY: In this quote we see Juliet express how she feels about being married to Paris. She would want it to be delayed for as long as possible. She the mentions how if it cannot be delayed and she must do it she would rather be dead. She says this when she mentions she would like to be where Tybalt lies.

STATUS: “O God, I have an ill-divining soul! / Methinks I see thee, now thou art below, / As one dead in the bottom of a tomb.” (​R&J​, III:V ln 54-56)

REPLY: In this quote we see Juliet foreshadow what may happen in the future through this vision. She looks down at Romeo and refers him as “one dead in the bottom of a tomb.” This is to foreshadow the incoming death of Romeo.

STATUS: “Villain and he be many miles asunder. - / God pardon him! I do, with all my heart; / And yet no man like he doth grieve my heart.” (​R&J​, III:V ln 81-83)

REPLY: In these lines we see that Juliet is trying to tell her mother what she would like to hear but at the same time they also express her love for Romeo. When she says “he be many miles asunder” It makes it seem like she hopes he will never come back. Yet, in the next line we see her say “God pardon him! I do, with all my heart” This means she forgives him and wants him back.

STATUS: “Your tributary drops belong to woe, / Which you, mistaking, offer up to joy. My husband lives, that Tybalt would have slain; / And Tybalt’s dead, that would have slain my husband.” (​R&J​, III:II ln 103-106)

REPLY: In this quote we see that Juliet is troubled, she does not know whether to hate or love Romeo. Romeo killed someone in her family after all, yet she knows that Tybalt would have killed Romeo if given the chance. She does not know whether she should be crying for Romeo or Tybalt and is trying to choose a side.

the NURSE

I am so enraged. The worst that could has't possibly hath happened already didst. In the morning, that clotpole Tybalt hadst challenged Romeo to a duel which Romeo rejected because that gent is his family now. Mercutio becameth so fell that that gent hath decided to taketh on Tybalt. I can't bethink of a worse and more idiotic choice. Obviously, Mercutio hadst been stabbed and hath kicked the bucket. In response, Romeo got all fired up and hath decided that that gent wast going to maketh Tybalt payeth, which that gent didst, with his life. So, now Tybalt and Mercutio art dead, and the Prince hath proclaimed Romeo as banished from Verona. Juliet does not knoweth who to weep, the sir she hath known that lady whole life or a knave she hath just hath met. Coequal though she hath caused me to beest so fell with that lady whirlpool of emotions, I doth feeleth for that lady. And even so after all the events Juliet has goth for the day, the Lord Capulet hath to order her to marry the gent Paris, what a tragedy! She hath already marry to the knave Romeo. Marrying Paris would be the pits of sin for the lady. So as her giver of care, I tryeth to talk to Lord Capulet, and that fool yelleth at me! Taketh the chilleth pilleth. A very, very darkest of the days. These weeks will not be goodeth for anyone in Verona, I feel it in my bosom.

Status: ​“O Tybalt, Tybalt, the best friend I had! / O courteous Tybalt! honest gentleman! / That ever I should love to see the thee dead!” (​R+J​, III:ii ln 61-63).

Reply:​ The Nurse is grieving for the loss of her friend, Tybalt. This shows how close Tybalt is to the Capulet family, how even though Tybalt is short tempered and blood thirsty, Tybalt has a good side to him where he is good friends with people in the Capulet house.

Status: ​“Hie to your chamber. I’ll find Romeo / To comfort you. I sit well where he is. / Hark ur, your Romeo will be here at night” (​R+J​, III:ii ln 138-140).

Reply:​ In this quotation, Nurse goes to seek out Romeo to bring him to Juliet to keep her sane. This is important because it shows that Nurse obviously cares a tremendous amount for Juliet to go to lengths to bring the killer of her dear friend to Juliet to console her.

Status:​ “Will you speak well of him that killed your cousin?” (​R+J​,​ ​III:ii ln 96).

Reply:​ In this quotation, Nurse is telling Juliet that it is unethical to still love her husband after he killed her cousin. This quotation is important because it reveals that the Nurse is not as fond of Romeo as Juliet is, having enough love for him to forgive such actions.

Status:​ “Ah, well-a-day! he’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead!” (​R+J​, III:ii ln 37).

Reply:​ In this quotation, the Nurse makes Juliet feel afraid and curious at the same time. After Juliet spent hours picturing and imagining her night with Romeo, Nurse storms in telling these words. Clearly, Juliet’s mind associates the death of someone with Romeo. This is important quotation because it shows dramatic irony where the audience knows that Romeo is not dead but Juliet thinks he is.

LORD CAPULET

Dear. Lord. Almighty! Oh my heart aches, Tybalt how young you are. Tybalt, a man of the sword, to be brutally murdered by an evildoer. Romeo, oh Romeo, I thought you were a respectable boy. Thank God the Prince banished that boy (though it would’ve been better to have him executed). Our family is heavily saddened of what had taken place. Oh how much we are all mourning. Even my daughter, Juliet can be heard crying from her room. She seems extremely sad, at least she has Nurse on her side to comfort her.

*time skip*


First my nephew goes and dies by a Montague hand and then my daughter goes on and decides to disobey me! I am so done. This disrespectful child. I provided for her all her life. All I did was work and care for her and all I get back is disobedience. A disgraceful, unthankful child. She continues to weep and weep even though everyone else was over it. Not only that! I asked of her to to go and marry Paris, a sweet boy, and that child had the nerve to say no and deny my wishes. (Though I am marrying her to fulfill a desperate tender of her love). If she goes and continues to deny my wishes, she will no longer be part of this family. That child WILL marry Paris on Thursday, or else consequences will occur.

STATUS: “Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender/ Of my child’s love. I think she will be ruled/ In all respects by me; nay more, I doubt it not” (​R&J​, III:iv ln. 12-14).


REPLY: In this quotation, Lord Capulet makes an offer to Paris on Juliet's love. Since Juliet doesn’t listen to Lord Capulet anymore, Capulet wants to marry Juliet off to marry Paris so he can take care of her, and she will be off of Capulet’s hands.

STATUS: “Graze where you will, you shall not house with me” (​R&J​, III:v ln. 189).


REPLY: In this quotation Lord Capulet is firmly telling Juliet to respect his wishes because if she won’t, she will be suffering major consequences. Lord Capulet said if Juliet won’t respect his wishes, he is going to kick Juliet out of the family and that she won’t be living there anymore. She can die out of starvation on the streets and beg to come back but it will be out of his concern because Lord Capulet already warned Juliet.

 

STATUS: “I tell thee what- get thee to church a Thursday/ Or never after look me in the face. / Speak not, reply not, do not answer me!/ My fingers itch” (​R&J​, III:v ln.161-164).

 

REPLY: Lord Capulet is making Juliet go through the marriage with on Thursday. If she were to try and disobey, she would get consequences. The quote shows that Capulet is ready to show violence against Juliet and reinforce the fact Capulet does not really love Juliet as his daughter, but more so looks at her as a way to improve the family power, an opportunity to help make business deal. She there for him to take care of until it is time to marry her off and increase the family’s power.

MERCUTIO

I have just been stabbed, and I am so angry at both Tybalt and Romeo! Curse both houses! Because of them I will die if I don’t get a surgeon! Curse both of them! I should probably rewind to what happened before this moment. Well, I was talking to my good friend Benvolio, or more like arguing really. Our conversations are really quite funny. I had told him that he gets mad over the smallest things, and I gave an example that he would become furious if one thing was out of place or if someone’s beard had one hair more or less than his. I may have exaggerated just a tad. But I was also fed up with him telling me not to quarrel while he himself is not a saint. Then he informed me that the Capulets were coming and I could not have cared less. Tybalt annoyed me to my wit’s end that I told Tybalt not to only talk with us but to strike as well. I didn’t care for the consequences of fighting in the street for the third time. I just wanted to fight- to the death. I wanted to take one of the cat’s nine lives. Then, Romeo, being the idiotic fool he is tried to come between us. Tybalt’s sword went under his arm, and through my flesh. I told Romeo that he had killed me; he deserves to live with the guilt if I happen to die. I wish them both to hell. Benvolio has just moved me to another house. I am not feeling so good right now. I will update later.

 

Until next time

REPLY​: Here, Mercutio is telling Benvolio how he gets angry over the smallest of things. He feels as if Benvolio is the type of man to walk inside a bar hoping to never use his sword, although, after a second drink, he would pull the sword on the bartender for no reason.

STATUS​: “Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man./” (​R&J,​ III:i ln. 91-92)

 

REPLY​: Mercutio has just been wounded and knows he is dying, trying to cover it up, he’s making jokes about it. The pun goes like this, he will be dead tomorrow and in his “grave.”

STATUS​: “They have made worms' meat of me. I have it,/” (​R&J, ​III:i ln.100)

REPLY​: Mercutio says that both fighting households had turned him into “food for worms,” meaning his body would decompose and be their meal after his death. He also means that he cannot take it anymore, he is done for. He also blames both families for his wound and later on death.

FRIAR LAURENCE

I have been hiding Romeo ever since his duel with Tybalt.​ ​Once he was safe with me, I had to catch him up on Tybalt’s situation and how the Capulets aren’t very pleased with Romeo at the moment. The Capulets want Romeo’s head but instead of the Prince ordering Romeo’s death, he decided to banish him from Verona. Romeo isn’t very happy about this because he would rather be dead if he can’t be with Juliet. I’m just glad that the Prince didn’t order his death, so as you can see I’m trying to look at the bright side of this whole equation. And trust me I know Romeo is a good kid but he should be praising the Prince for sparing his life. Romeo is acting so ungrateful and wishing death upon himself just because of the fact that he can’t be with his wife anymore.

As I was lecturing Romeo, there was a knock at the door, I told Romeo to hide just in case it was the Prince’s soldiers. To my surprise, he just laid on the floor, which was so foolish of him. Luckily it was just the Nurse, who saw that Romeo looked horrible, just like Juliet. Romeo at this point just wanted kill himself as punishment for hurting Juliet in a way that she will never see him again. He couldn’t stand the thought that he brought emotional harm upon his own wife. So at this point I needed to knock some sense into him. I began by telling him that things are actually acting out in his favor. Juliet is alive, he wasn't killed by Tybalt, and he hasn't been put to death for killing Tybalt. Romeo should be counting his blessings, and not obsessing over the few bad things that are happening.

Next I tried to convince Romeo to avoid suicide. I proposed that Romeo and Juliet could still have one night together before Romeo is banished and has to leave Verona. After that, Romeo had to go, but I plan to talk to the Prince to get Romeo pardoned so they can make Romeo and Juliet’s marriage a public act. After I made my proposal, both the Nurse and Romeo spirits went up a little bit. Hopefully this plan works out smoothly.

Status: “O deadly sin! O rude unthankfulness!/ Thy fault our law calls death; but the kind Prince,/ Taking thy part, hath rushed aside the law,/ And turned that black word death to banishment.”(​R&J,​ III:iii, ln. 24-28)

Reply: After hearing the tragic news from Romeo, Friar Laurence was relieved to hear that Romeo was not sentenced to death for the murder of Tybalt, but was banished from Verona instead. The friar believed that the prince gave Romeo a very merciful punishment, seeing as how the punishment for murder and fighting on the streets was death.

Status: “ Hold thy desperate hand./Art thou a man? Thy form cries out thou art;/ Thy tears are womanish, thy wild acts denote/The unreasonable fury of a beast./ Unseemly woman in a seeming man!/ Or ill-beseeming beast in seeming both!”(​R&J​, III:iii ln.108-113)

Reply: After Romeo realized that with banishment he would never see his love Juliet again, he got overwhelmed with emotions and grief. He pulled his blade and threatened suicide, not being able to live without her. The friar saw Romeo’s behavior as very foolish and womanish, and he believed no man should go as far as suicide, because he would only be sending his soul to hell, and would waste the advantages that he already has.

Status: “Thy noble shape is but a form of wax,/ Digressing from the valor of a man;/ Thy dear love word but hollow perjury,/ Killing that love which though has vowed to cherish;/ Thy wit, that ornament to shape and love,/ Misshapen in the conduct of them both,/ Like powder in a skilless soldier's flask,/ Is set afire by thine own ignorance. (​R&J​, III:iii ln. 126-134)

Reply: Friar Laurence warns Romeo that if he were to kill himself, he would be ending the cherished bond he had with Juliet. He believed Romeo's feelings and emotions were mislead and mishandled, because of his ignorance. Both Romeo and Juliet were still alive, and with death they could never be with each other again, whereas with banishment they still had a chance.

Status: “Where thou shalt live till we can find a time/ To blaze your marriage, reconcile your friends,/ Beg pardon of the Prince, and call thee back/ With twenty hundred thousand times more joy than thou went forth in lamentation. (​R&J​, III:iii ln. 150-154)

Reply: Friar Laurence devises a clever plan, that involves Romeo hiding in Mantua until he could return to announce his marriage to Juliet to the public. The friar believes this statement would get the prince thinking twice about his decision, because a union through marriage with two rival houses could bring peace to Verona.

ROMEO

Dear Diary,

Ah, love is in the air, the birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, and I am in love. Oh, so in love. My beautiful wife, Juliet, has consumed my heart and she is the best thing that has ever happened to me. The friar has married us and together we have become one. Finally, the feud that has taken the lives of so many people from both the Montagues and Capulets will come to rest. And all this because of the strong love that exists between Juliet and I.  

 

2:00 pm

             How wrong was I that the feud would end. Because of me, my best friend, the person I could say anything to and the person I spent my days and nights with, is dead. O, Mercutio how I long that you forgive me up in heaven. I avenged your death and killed our rival, Tybalt! The anger that consumed me in the moment of your death resulted me in forgetting that the justice system would’ve taken care of him. Now, I am getting exiled from Verona. The tears coming nonstop has formed an ocean of my pain. I can't live without my love and I now must deal with the mess that is my conflicted heart. I have no will to live right now, but Friar Laurence has told me that I am being ungrateful for what I currently have which is a wife and my life. Friar Laurence has told me to hide out in Mantua for a few months to wait out the tension and then to come back to Verona to announce our marriage which will hopefully bring peace to our families and to Verona as well. I hope with all my heart that this plan will work out. 

 

Early Morning

            After spending the night with Juliet, I must leave Verona. As much as I do not want to leave Juliet, I have to, for I am a target here in Verona. As I descended down the ladder, she told me of an evil vision she had. She had pictured a person at the bottom of a tomb, either dead or pale. I tried to comfort her by saying sorrow drains blood from our hearts, causing us to look pale. Hopefully, her sadness washes away so all that is left is the amazing times we have had together. And once I return to Verona, there will be many more to come.

Reply: In this quote, Romeo means that he has never hurt Tybalt before and he doesn’t plan on fighting him now because he and Tybalt are family. Due to Romeo’s sudden marriage to Juliet, Tybalt is now family to Romeo. Because of the love he has for Juliet and the marriage, fighting Tybalt would be a loss for Romeo as well.

 

 

Status: “This gentleman, the Prince's near ally,/My very friend, hath got his mortal hurt/

Reply: In this quote, Romeo feels guilty that Mercutio has died protecting him from Tybalt, who has only been Romeo’s relative for an hour. He explains that he could not fight Tybalt, not only because he was family, but because his love for Juliet had made him less manly and brave.

 

 

Status: “'Tis torture, and not mercy. Heaven is here,/Where Juliet lives; and every cat and dog/And little mouse, every unworthy thing,/Live here in heaven and may look on her,/But Romeo may not. More validity,/More honorable state, more courtship lives/In carrion-flies than Romeo. They may seize/On the white wonder of dear Juliet's hand/And steal immortal blessing from her lips,/Who, even in pure and vestal modesty/Still blush, as thinking their own kisses sin;/But Romeo may not he is banished./Flies may do this, but I from this must fly;/They are free men, but I am banished.”  (R&J, III:iii ln 29-40)

 

Reply: In this quote, Romeo is complaining about his banishment from Verona. Instead of being happy that the Prince took mercy on him, he is saying his punishment is torture. He does not want to be banished from Verona because if he can’t be close to Juliet, then no one can. His biggest concern is his wife, Juliet, and how even the mice and the flies can “steal immortal blessings” from her but he cannot. He is angry that filthy flies will be closer to Juliet than he will be to her because they are “free men” and he isn’t.

TYBALT

I cannot believe this! I still cannot believe this! I cannot believe that I, Tybalt, the greatest duelist in all of fair Verona, have had my life taken by a Montague! The childish amateur Romeo had taken my life so quickly. I had to get back at him for ambushing our Capulet feast! So I had challenged the boy to a duel. I hadn't expected to kill the Montague's best comrade. But the fool had to provoke me, and I couldn't let him get away with it. So of course I had to fight the foolish Mercutio. During our fight, Romeo had between us, and given me an opening. So I took my chance, and I had defeated him. Romeo was clearly devastated, but I saw him pick up that rapier and the duel I had intended for had finally began. I could see through that Montague’s eyes and I could tell he was enraged at me for killing his friend. So he had successfully avenged Mercutio by shoving his sword through my chest. Then I had fallen.

Reply: Tybalt seeks Romeo to get revenge on him for what he did the night of the feast. After Mercutio mistakenly gets mad at Tybalt for calling Romeo a peasant, he tells Tybalt to call him a “man” when Romeo is chasing him. Tybalt reacts and says that he loves him enough to call Romeo a villain. He is calling him a villain because of his previous actions, such as attending Lord Capulet's party without being invited and then dancing with Juliet. Calling him by this insult conveys how Tybalt really is angry towards Romeo.

Status:“Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries/ That thou hast done me; therefore turn and draw” (​R+J​, III:i ln 61-62)


Reply: Romeo claims to love Tybalt, and his love for him is the reason he can set aside any rage and excuse the villain insult. But to Tybalt, Romeo seems like a horrible person.Tybalt claims that the love shall not excuse Romeo’s actions and what harm he had done to him. Because of this Tybalt demands that Romeo turn around and draw his sword to fight.

Status: “Thou, wretched boy, that didst consort him here,/ Shalt with him hence.” (​R+J,​ I:i ln 123-124)

Reply: After Tybalt kills Mercutio, Romeo is angry that Mercutio is dead but Tybalt alive. He begins to let rage guide his actions.​ Romeo wants to avenge Mercutio and says that he is up in heaven waiting for Tybalts company. He claims that either him or Tybalt go, or both. Tybalt claims since Romeo and Mercutio were friends and hung out, He should be the one to go. Also meaning Tybalt was ready to kill Romeo.

REPLY: Lady Capulet is vowing that the Capulets will have their revenge on the Montagues since  Romeo killed Tybalt to try to cheer up Juliet. Lady Capulet promises that if it will make Juliet happy she will send someone to Mantua to poison and kill Romeo.

REPLY: Lady Capulet has just informed Juliet that she will be marrying Paris on Thursday. Lady Capulet is bragging about how wonderful a man Paris is. Lady Capulet is pointing out some of Paris’s best qualities to try and convince Juliet to be more open to the idea of marrying Paris. Lady Capulet is also trying to convince Juliet by telling her how happy a bride and wife Paris will make her.

REPLY: Juliet has just told both her parents that she will not marry Paris. Lady Capulet is furious. Lady Capulet tells Juliet to do whatever she wants to do because Lady Capulet is done worrying about Juliet. Lady Capulet warns Juliet that if she ever talks to her again she will not respond. Lady Capulet ends with saying she is done with Juliet because she will not listen to her mother or her father.

 I am appalled. My close relative, Tybalt has recently been murdered and my family and I have been hysterical since. Words cannot describe the extreme grief I am feeling.  That Montague boy, Romeo,  will pay for this. I tried to convince the Prince to avenge Tybalt’s death by killing Romeo but the Prince instead asked Benvolio to describe what had happened and who had started the fight. Benvolio tried to place all the blame on Tybalt as Tybalt was the one who began the fight. Benvolio told the Prince that Romeo at first tried to stop the fight by trying to convince Tybalt of how foolish the argument was and how the Prince would not approve of the fight. But Tybalt refused to listen to Romeo and began fighting Mercutio and when Romeo stepped in between the two once again Tybalt used the opportunity to kill Mercutio. Tybalt then ran off and when he came back Romeo, fueled by rage, took matters into his own hands and killed Tybalt, and as Tybalt was killed Romeo ran off.  Benvolio swears on his life that he is telling the truth but I believe Benvolio, being a Montague himself, is too attached to the Montague family and will do and say anything to prevent Romeo, a Montague, from being executed. But Romeo must die, he killed Tybalt I tried once again telling the Prince that he must avenge Tybalt’s death but he did not listen, instead he took the Montague’s side and just banished Romeo. Later on that day the noble gentleman Paris has asked once again for my daughter’s hand in marriage and my husband Lord Capulet has agreed. However, my husband has told Paris that he must wait until Thursday to marry our daughter as she still needs time to grieve the death of out beloved Tybalt. Paris is caring he asked me to give my Juliet his regards. My husband and I could not have found a better husband for our daughter. My poor daughter Juliet crying out in agony for Tybalt. I came in to her room to try and lift her spirits and maybe talk about her soon to be husband. Only to find out that she wasn’t even interested? How dare she! My husband and I find her a nice young man for her to spend the rest of her life with, and she repays us by being ungrateful! It’s very important to me and my family that she marry Paris! She made an outrageous and inappropriate joke that she would rather marry Romeo, the Montague who murdered her own cousin. I don’t know what’s going on in that mind of hers. My husband told her that if she wishes to marry someone other than Paris, then she will no longer be welcomed in our home.
