"I don 't usually do things like this, write down how I feel or what 's happened to me recently. However, considering what 's happening right now, I wanted to right it all down. If anyone ever finds this I want them to show it to as many people as they can in case my story is similar to others. I want what is happening to me to stop, I want people to see that my kind won 't hurt anyone.
After saying that, I feel like I can now tell you what happened exactly. My family wanted to keep my secret, they thought the best way to do that was for me to marry Paris. Paris is a kinsmen to the prince, he is wealthy, handsome and he wanted to marry me. Unfortunately I didn 't want to marry him. I believed, and still believe, that I 'm too young and that

I told him that my name is Juliet, he told me that his name is Romeo. Once I was alone in my room I went out onto my balcony and called for my Romeo saying "Romeo, Romeo. Wherefore art thou my Romeo?" I was playing with a little doll I made that looks almost exactly like him. Suddenly I saw him, he jumped out, he had no idea why he did. He spotted the doll and accused me of being a witch, that 's when I had to tell him everything. We talked about it for awhile and he told me that he wouldn 't tell anyone. Then I was called by my nurse. He gave me a goodbye kiss and left. The thing is, we can 't be seen by anyone. I 'm Juliet Capulet and he 's Romeo Montague, our families have been fighting for as long as I can remember and I 've been forbidden to see or talk to any …show more content…
We went away and suddenly I was called by my nurse. She told me that I had to hide as everyone in Verona was searching for me now that they all know I 'm a witch. I hid away in Friar Laurence 's church. Friar told me that as the citizens of Verona found out that Romeo knew my secret for a while he was banished from the city. Friar left and I was alone in his church. I heard doors opening and then I saw a pers"
I thought there was no better way to start this story than to open with the one and only diary entry written by my beloved Juliet. That last sentence would have been something like "I heard doors opening and then I saw a person holding a torch. They suddenly grabbed me and took me to the middle of the city for everyone to see."
Every time I read that message Juliet left for everyone I can 't help but feel like it 's all my fault, which it is, I should have never told anyone about her being a witch but I thought I fell out of love with her. I was banished from Verona for not telling anyone earlier, I found life out of the only city I 've ever been in hard so I thought I 'd come back. Once I came back no one noticed me for a while. I saw this giant crowd gathered at the centre of the city, no one had noticed me so I watched to see what was

    Subsequently, this causes great losses of trust and empathy towards, as well as emotionally separating the parents. Furthermore, Juliet, now left alone at a crucial point, has only one person left to turn to: Friar Lawrence. After receiving the potion from the Friar, on the eve of her wedding to Paris, she purposely requests to be “[left] to [herself]” (IV,iii, 1, 2). Although it is not uncommon for young teenagers to sleep without having the company of a parental figure, Juliet’s behavior could be taken as wariness of the Nurse’s presence. Thus, the Nurse can only hope for Juliet to consider changing her mind about Paris and to forgive her for betraying her trust.…

    Mahatma Gandhi once famously said, “A man is but the product of his thoughts; what he thinks, he becomes.” Without rationally thinking through all choices and consequences, one can possibly become stuck in the outcomes of those decisions. Throughout the play, Romeo and Juliet made many judgements impulsively. Romeo and Juliet’s decision to pursue their relationship despite its forbidden and reckless nature demonstrates the destructiveness of their impulses. Romeo and Juliet have only recently met for the first time, but despite this, they proclaim their rash love quickly and suddenly.…

    Near the start of her speech, each line typically contains only one polysyllabic word, “Friar, hearest, unless, prevent, wisdom, resolution, presently” (50-54). This scarcity and spread of polysyllabic lines cause them to seem more prominent and deliberate, clarifying Juliet’s determined wish. The complexity of the words such as “wisdom”, “resolution”, and “presently” (52, 53, 54) also puts greater emphasis on them, and further suggests how Juliet thinks through her decisions and acts accordingly, rather than throwing caution to the wind. As the speech continues, the lines begin to contain more polysyllabic words which increase the pace of the passage: “Present counsel, behold, extremes, bloody, umpire, commission, issue, honor” (61-65). The complexity and frequency to which Juliet uses them then imbue reader with the same sense of frenzy she feels as desperation and fear nearly overwhelms her beneath that resolute exterior.…

    William Shakespeare published “Romeo and Juliet” in 1597, a play of two lovers from rival houses who overcome hate to find love, only to have fate guide them to their deaths. Shakespeare bestowed upon the world a play with lively characters, and Juliet of the Capulets is a complex character who defies the typical stereotype of women during the Elizabethan era. Shakespeare developed Juliet to be an individual who is beautiful, intelligent, defiant, and yet masculine. By doing so, Shakespeare created a character that is significant to the tragic play of “Romeo and Juliet” because it shows the audience how a young and naïve girl will transition into a woman that defies the typical behavior of a woman only to achieve her happily ever after ending…
