"'Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What’s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet..."

Love at First Sight...



Earlier today my parents told me that they have arranged a marriage for me to a man named Paris. They say that I will meet him later tonight at our party. I walk into the party and meet Paris. He seems to boring to me. As the night draws to a close I notice another handsome gentleman. I don’t believe I have seen him before. We exchange a few words. His name is Romeo. I feel as if we are to opposite sides of magnets. I feel so drawn to him. As the guest start to leave I learn that Romeo is a Montague.
After the party I stood on my balcony thinking aloud of the events that have happened in the last hour. What I didn’t know was that Romeo was outside hearing my every thought. Then Romeo asks me to marry him. I am overwhelmed and confused at the same time. I tell him that I will send my nurse with the answer to him the following morning. The next morning I send my nurse with my answer. I say yes. After waiting impatiently for my nurse to return, she finally arrives i ask her what Romeo said. after much delay she tells me the plan.

Tears Shed For Whom?


The events that have happened today were much unexpected. It all started off as a regular day. I was just sitting in my room when my nurse runs in and breaks some horrible news. Tybalt has been killed. The worst part of it is, Romeo is the one who killed him. The prince has banished Romeo. Romeo is given the chance to leave Verona forever. If he is found within the city he will be executed.
I was shocked! I knew I had to see my love one more time. I sent the nurse to the Friars cell to find Romeo and have him come to her before he leaves the city. My husband and I spend his last night together. Then he left. My mother walks in the room immediately after Romeo leaves. She announces to me that she wants me to marry Paris this week! I of course become angry. Then my father threatens to disown me if I don’t marry him so I reluctantly agree. When my parents leave I ask my nurse for advice. But the Nurse says I should marry Paris because Romeo is as good dead. Seeing that the nurse is no help I lie to my mother and tell her I am going to friar’s cell for confession.

Good Night! ;)


Today I went to see the Friar, to my surprise when I arrived my husband to be Paris was there. Paris was telling the Friar that he would be marrying me this Thursday! When he noticed I was in the cell he left. I told the Friar of my issues. I needed a plan. My parents couldn’t find out that I had married the enemy's son. Also they couldn’t know that I didn’t want to marry Paris because I am in love with Romeo. He told me of a potion that will make me look like I died in my sleep. But I will wake up in forty two hours. He also said that he will send a letter to my husband, Romeo to let him know of this plan so he can come to awake me in my deep slumber inside of my tomb. So I return home acting as if nothing was wrong. My heart was beating out of my chest with joy but I had to try to cover it up and act normal. I rejoiced about marring Paris so my parents wouldn’t be suspicious. That night while everyone was preparing for a wedding that wasn’t going to happen I drank the potion.

Good Night!

Where am I?


I feel as if I am floating somehow. I am too afraid to open my eyes. I am afraid of what I will see. Shall I let this be a mystery? I open my eyes to a scene. I see two people a very handsome boy and a pretty young lady. She has beautiful long hair. Like me. She looks about fourteen. Like me. The boy near her looks very familiar. Who is that? Oh my. Is it my Romeo? Oh what cruel fate! How has this happened!?
I close my eyes and sob for what feels like forever. Then I hear my parents. I open my eyes and see the Capulet's and the Montague’s. It seems as though the feud has ended. It has taken the death of loved ones to help the families solve this feud. This world is very cruel. I do hope that the world I go to next is not as cruel. It must've been fate. That would take me away from my true love to unite the feuding families once again. I feel as if it was right for me to go. If I didn’t I wouldn’t know what would lie ahead. For never was a story of more woe
Than this of me and my Romeo.
