Dear Prince Escalus:
Your Royal Highness, please take what I am about to say in consideration. From all of the fighting in Verona’s streets, I assume that you know about the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues. For the sake of Verona, we should end this grudge between them. I tried to restore the bonds between the two families by marrying Juliet, a Capulet, and Romeo, a Montague. This action led up to Romeo killing Tybalt. This, in turn, resulted in Romeo’s banishment from Verona.
Romeo should not be condemned to this horrible punishment. He only did what the law would have done to Tybalt, so you should not banish Romeo. Even
