Entry 5

Dearest Diary,

Oh there is nothing I can do but, father has threatened to kick me out if I do not marry Paris but I cant be unfaithful to my Romeo I am already spoken for. So I went to Friar Lawrence and he brewed me a potion that will make me seem like I am dead but I won’t be. Then plan is that I drink it just before I go to sleep tonight then and gently drift asleep, they will then find me and place me in the Capulets tomb where Romeo will find me, wake me up with a kiss and we will live happily ever after. Friar Lawrence will send word to Romeo that I am not actually dead and that he needs to wake me.

 I am about to drink the potion that will make me appear lifeless. Hopefully this will end the feud between our families and Romeo and I can live happily ever after. The messenger has left with the note to let Romeo know what is happening. I hope he will be here when I wake up.

*Romeo finds her passed out on the bed and thinks she is dead so he drinks a cup of poison and he dies.

I just woke up and Romeo is dead beside me. But why? HE must not have received my message and how rude he drank all the poison and left none for me. I shall kiss him and see if there is any left on his lips, they are still warm.
I am so regretful that our love was so short. I hope to see you in the after life my love. Oh no I hear someone?! “Then I’ll be brief. Oh happy dagger, I shall pierce my heart and join my Romeo where our love shall last forever in eternity." (act five scene three page one hundred and eighty-six)

Entry 4

Dearest Diary,

I sent the nurse at nine o’clock, oh what if she can’t find him. She is so slow! Its noon which is three hours since I sent the nurse. I am starting to worry. Wait! She just showed up I wonder what news she has...
I had to get permission to go out for confession. I am meeting Romeo at Friar Lawrence’s cell. We are getting married. Woooohoooooo
I can’t wait until tonight, tonight is the night when Romeo and I make our marriage official. Its when we will “Spread our close curtain, love-performing night, That runaways' eyes may wink, and Romeo Leap to these arms, untalked of and unseen”(act three scene two page one hundred and seven) . Nurse is coming I will return when she leaves...
Oh My! Romeo has been banished, my poor husband has been banished for killing my dear cousin Tybalt. “Oh, he’s  a snake disguised as a flower. Did a dragon ever look so gorgeous He’s a beautiful dictator and a cruel angel! He’s a crow that appears as a swan. He’s a lamb who hunts like a wolf!” (act three scene two page one hundred and eleven) oh I am such a beast to be angry at him. He deserves nothing but honor. I love my Romeo, my poor Romeo. We have only been married for three hours, why did you have to kill my cousin. While everyone cries for Tybalt I will cry for my Romeo because he has been exiled. I will find a way so we can be together.


Entry 3

Dearest Diary,

 I heard someone under the balcony I asked the mysterious person to speak and though “My ears have not yet drunk a hundred words of that tongue’s uttering, I know the sound. Art thou not Romeo, and a Montague?”(act two scene two page sixty-one) He was there under my bedroom window. Romeo, the man I love. He listened to my private thoughts as I spoke to the air. He said that if I just called him my love he would no longer be a Montague. I was so embarrassed that he had ‘heard’ me that I was blushing; I thank the darkness that hid my face from his view though. I couldn’t help it I forgot about the lady like manners I was supposed to have and asked him if he loved me. Was I too forward I am not supposed to give myself away like that. What if he thinks I was to easy and to quick to win my heart. I offered to play hard to get if that meant he would try and win my heart, but I don’t want to. Put a ring on my finger I say. He climbed up the wall on onto the balcony. He is so handsome <sigh>.  I hope that because I fell in-love so quickly that he doesn’t think my love isn’t true. I heard nurse calling me so I had to go I pushed him up against the railing and kissed him passionately again and again I asked again if his love was true and if so give me a time thus  “If that thy bent of love be honorable, Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow by one that I’ll procure to come to thee Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite, and all my fortunes at thy foot I’ll lay And follow thee my lord throughout the world.” (act two scene two page sixty-six)



Entry 2

Dearest Diary,

The ball was...Wonderful. I met Count Paris, we danced for a while, mother said to study his eyes to see if I could love him but I didn’t feel a thing though I also met a young man by the name of Romeo. He took my hand and said “If I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.” (act one scene five page fourty-nine)He doesn’t give himself enough credit. It felt incredible, he had such care and promise in his voice I instantly fell in love. He was wishing for my kiss... as I was wishing for his. He kissed me, and he kissed me again. I have never felt like they way I felt tonight when he touched my hand and lent in for our first kiss. I wish his name wasn’t Romeo though, if only he wasn’t a Montague. “O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet”.(act two scene two page fifty-nine to sixty) Oh why do I love someone who I am supposed to hate? I honestly thought I would never feel this way about anybody I loved him since the very first time I saw his beautiful blue eyes. I don’t want to marry Paris but I do want to marry Romeo O my Romeo, but how am I to get out of marrying Paris. I could make him believe that he doesn’t want to marry or I could run away with Romeo, but then I wouldn’t see mother and father ever again. I will figure this out.

Entry 1

Dearest Diary,

Father has gotten into another battle with the Montague’s. Ugh, I have no clue what they are fighting about, I’m not even sure they know what they are fighting over. He is so stubborn sometimes, too much for his own good. On another note, I am so excited about the masquerade ball tonight, although mother says that there’s is a man who wants to marry and we are to meet tonight. His name is Paris. I don’t want to marry; I am not even fourteen yet. To be married, “is an honor that I dream not of”. (act one scene three page thirty-one) Mother wishes me to just meet him so “I’ll look to like if looking liking move. But no more deep will I endart mine eye than your consent gives strength to make it fly.” (act one scene three page thirty-three)
