Together Forever


I dream and I dream that Romeo, my knight in shining armor will awaken me with his tender kiss. I have not woken up yet, and I feel no kiss on my now crimson lips. I feel like as if I can't move a muscle. O, powerful potion. I hear a noise. My eyes start to open after, which seemed, like a long restful sleep. I see Friar Laurence and he keeps on insisting for me to go with him. All he wants its to save himself. O, holy man, how grateful I am to you. I ask him where is my Romeo, where is my love? He points to where my dear Romeo lies, DEATH. O, love, why! I kiss his lips. No! O, thy lips are warm! Romeo, Romeo! O, happy dagger, there you stand. I love you Romeo and now forever we will be together! (Stab myself)
I now see that our death was not in vain. That horrible feud is settled forever. The Montagues and Capulets will construct a statue, here in Verona, to remember my and my Romeo's love.
Just like the Prince said, "For never a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo." :) AWW

Planned Wedding & Potion



O, dear Lord! O, Romeo! Romeo is so amazing. We consummated our marriage at last, now we are lawfully husband and wife. But with such happiness also comes sorrow. He left for Mantua tonight for has Prince Escalus banished him. He will stay at this neighboring town until things come down here in Verona. However, I just discovered that I am to marry County Paris this Thursday. O, my Lord, please help me. I would rather die and lie next to Tybalt than marry that man, for I only have eyes for my Romeo. O, Romeo, Romeo, how I miss you my love! I have to go to Friar Laurence's cell to ask for guidance in this time of my life. He is the only person I can count in, because Nurse has really disappointed me. When at Friar's cell he gave me a potion that will make me appear as though I was death. It will slow down my pulse and breathing, as it will also drain all the blood from my face, making me pale. I have to take it Wednesday night in order for our plan to work. But o God, my plan has work against me. My father has moved the wedding to tomorrow, Wednesday. I must drink the potion tonight. O, please work potion. Romeo, I drink to thee.

Mercutio and Tybalt's Death & Exile

O, Lord, where is Romeo!? Not two and ten hours has passed after our marriage and now my dear Romeo is exiled from Verona. O, Lord, please say death! Don't say banished! O, Lord, tell me what to do now! O, Tybalt, why did you die! O, damn Romeo! O, no, Romeo is alive and Tybalt death. If Tybalt wouldn't have been death, then Romeo would have been the one death on that grave instead. O, Lord, don't ever let that happen. Let me be death first before he goes to a better place. Anyways, I sent Nurse to look for Romeo , for we have to consummate our marriage still. The Nurse came back with news about Romeo. According to Nurse, Romeo was very devastated to heat of his exile from Friar Laurence. Nurse heard from inside when Romeo told Friar Laurence and I quote: "Ha, banishment! Be merciful, say death; for exile hath more terror in his look, much more than death: do not say banishment." O, Lord please help me! However, he agreed on coming very late at night so we can finally be together. O, Romeo, I can't wait until we can see each other again my love! I cannot even go to sleep thinking about him. I hear something outside. It must be Romeo. I must away now confessor.

Marriage Ceremony



O dear confessor, I had been waiting for Nurse for three agonizing hours before she finally showed up. Finally, when she came, she would not give up what was my lover's dear message. When I got the message out of her, i was thrilled. Romeo went to Friar's cell to ask for permission for him to marry us and we are going to marry today! O Lord how exciting it feels! I cannot wait until I can see him again. O Romeo! I have sworn my love to thee and I will do it again if I have to. My parents will not hear of it, therefore, they cannot know, at least not now, for they will not approve. I really hate the ever standing feud between out two households. I don't even care anymore. I love Romeo and he corresponds me. Tonight, after the skylight is gone and the larks sing, he will be my husband. Upon my room, we will conceal our marriage. I have to go now for I have a husband who waits upon my bride. He will be waiting for my hand in marriage aside from Friar Laurence.

Balcony Scene Between Romeo and Juliet

Why is a name so important? It is not a what defines a man, its just a simple name. O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Montague? I met my love tonight! But ay me! He is a Montague! When Nurse told me he was from the house of my foes I was very surprised to say the least. O Lord! Ay me! I miss him! The brave Romeo came to my balcony tonight. Of course I was very shocked at his presence but how much did I enjoy it. Romeo and I swore our everlasting love to thee. O love, how beautiful you are! I told Romeo I will send word at nine and he will tell me if we will marry at last. O how long it has been since I last saw my Romeo! I just cannot understand what took Nurse so long. When she finally got home, she wouldn't tell me. What a tease she is! I did get it out of her and now we are married!! O Lord thank you! Of course, my parents don't know yet. I told them I was going to confessions and exit the house. Tonight my dear husband Romeo, will climb all the way to my bedroom to consummate this beautiful marriage.

Quarrel Between Servants & First Meet between Romeo and Juliet


The nurse tells me that Gregory and Sampson had a fight today on the streets of fair Verona with the servants of the Montague household. I do not understand why my father as well as the Montague holds such ancient grudge. It happened ages ago, why do we hate them so much? Anyhow, the fight held such a big attention that Prince Escalus had to intervene. He dictated that if the Capulet and/or Montague ever were to find again, their punishment will be dead. My mother honored me with her company today, which, by the way, it is very rare. She let Nurse stay after seconds of consideration, not a surprise because we are not at all close. At any rate, she spoke to me about Paris’ marriage proposal to me. Of courser I told her I would look to like but only as far as her consent will give it strength to make it fly. I have to go not. The guests are arriving and Nurse wants me to get ready.
