My dear cousin Juliet and I have been close ever since we were children. We were the best of friends; we played dolls when we were children and did each other’s hair when we got older. I will admit that we have not been as close in the past few years, but I cannot believe that this has happened! Her passing makes me feel like I am in a pool of quicksand; every time I attempt to move, the grief wrenches me down deeper and deeper until I can no longer find my way out. Yet I am currently standing here being accused by rumours for her death. This is outrageous and unfathomable! If I am correct, which I am, it was Juliet’s hand that grabbed that sword and plunged it into her heart, not mine. Why am I being blamed for something I didn’t …show more content…
I have no control over anyone else’s emotions, Romeo included. I tried to let Romeo down easily, multiple times, but he persisted. Please explain to me what I was meant to do, play along and pretend to love him back? How was that going to help either one of us? It would just unavoidably lead to the same thing, one of us getting hurt. There was nothing I could have ever done to stop Romeo’s infatuation, rejection didn’t work nor did ignoring him. I am being accused of my own cousin’s death because the man she fell in love with was infatuated with me. This theory of if I just accepted Romeo’s infatuation the two would have never fallen in love is entirely fabricated and unrealistic. The only person to blame for Romeo’s obsession with me is Romeo! I am not to blame for not accepting Romeos infatuation; Romeo is to blame for not accepting my rejection. If he just accepted by rejection or even never started this crazy obsession none of this would have happened and my dear cousin Juliet would still be alive …show more content…
This is the most ridiculous thing that I have heard yet! Juliet is my cousin who I spend a lot of time with and whom, if I did end up accepting Romeo’s infatuation, Romeo would have eventually met. Even if Romeo and myself were to have been in a relationship at the time who is to say that both himself and Juliet would not have developed feeling for each other. How could I accept his infatuation? It would not have solved anything! I, myself was once in love with a nobleman named Abraham. Our love spanned over many months in secret just as Juliet and Romeos did. However, Abraham was killed in a sword fight with a rival family. Abraham and I made a vowel to never love again before he died. This is the reason as to why I could not accept the love that Romeo gave me. My heart was still grieving from my lost and I had to withhold my promise that I gave to Abraham. Romeo never touched my heart like my beloved Abraham. I know how love works; I myself have an epic one. I know that even if Romeo and I were in a relationship he could have quite easily started loving Juliet as soon as they got to know each other. Love is a crazy wonderful thing that does, however lead to someone being hurt in the end. The love Romeo and Juliet possessed for each other was inevitably going to happen no matter who was
