Mrs. Romeo Paris?

Act 3, Scene 4

It has been consummated. My marriage, that is. No annulment is possible. So how do my parents expect me to marry Paris? Oh I am such a dishonest deceiving person. Neither my parents nor Paris know of Romeo. Romeo knows not of Paris. I DON'T LOVE PARIS. Can no one get this into their heads? Of course, I've had to try and convince my parents of this without letting them know that I am already married. My father will disown me if I do not marry Paris. He said it himself. So what am I to do? 

Even my nurse has turned her back on me. Her reasoning, that I will probably never see Romeo again, is simply ludicrous. No one understands true love. They all marry to advance themselves. I married for love, which is just UNTHINKABLE. To them, at least. Yes, I know that Romeo and I are of a rare kind. But still. I would rather fall off the highest cliff in the world than marry that old wrinkly gorbellied dread-bolted vassal. I have resolved to go to Friar Lawrence. He always has a solution. And if he were to come up short, I have my knife to comfort me...

Blood on the Hands of the one I Love

Act 3, Scene 2

Tybalt vs. Romeo. Blood relation vs. Marriage relation. Cousin vs. Husband. Is there a clear choice? I am in love with Romeo, but don't I have an obligation to Tybalt. But what of my obligation to Romeo? Oh my goodness, what a murky waters I am exploring. But really, how well do I know Romeo. He won't even be living here anymore. Does it make any sense not to annul the marriage? Everyone always says there are other fish in the sea...

Oh, I'm an idiot! That whole other fish in the sea is crap. I prefer a special kind of fish. A loving, sympathetic, romantic, handsome, sweet fish. A Romeo fish! Not another kind of fish. How could I ever think of betraying him! I'm a horrible wife! I may be related to both Tybalt and Romeo, but Tybalt being my cousin was not my choice. Romeo being my husband was definitely my choice. And therefore, the decision on whose side to take is easy. I will back Romeo no matter what!

Mrs. Romeo Montague

Act 2, scene 6

The title says it all!!!!!!!! I am ecstatic! Romeo's intentions were true! They were so true that he wed me just this morning! Friar Lawrence did the deed and I am forever grateful to him! Oh I love Romeo! My love gushes out of my heart and I cannot help but melt in his presence. Friar's initial hesitance at the marriage was immediately shed when he realized our great love for each other. Oh I am married! Whatever talk there was of my not being of age for marriage was nonsense! It was never the wrong age, but instead the wrong man! It plagues my heart that I even considered marrying anyone other than my dear Romeo. 

I am beyond excited for us to consummate our marriage tonight! Of course, my mother and father should not know that I am doing this. They don't even know I'm married! Or in love! They think I'm still courting with Paris. Oh how I jest at their naivety. If they only knew!

An Uncertain Future

Act 2, Scene 2


I don't think I could be more embarrassed. He heard me! The one I'm in love with heard me talking about my near obsession with him. Well, that's not to say he didn't return the feeling...but still! Now he knows. It’s out there and there's nothing I can do about it. He knows I'm sincere. But how will I ever know if he is? Obviously, in these modern times, you never know what a boy's real motive is! They will tell you anything you want to hear just to get into your hoes.

Oh my, he seemed so sincere last night though. I felt myself falling deeper and deeper in love with him as he spoke sweet nothings to me. My nurse should be back any minute to tell me my future. It all lies in the hands of my Romeo now. Soon enough I shall know if he was true in his love. He will either send for marriage, or we will forget about each other, and move on. Oh how could I ever move on now that I have fallen so deeply in love? I have few doubts, but men are mysterious at times, especially the mesmerizing Romeo. Oh Romeo, how I love him. Ay me! I hear my nurse now! Adieu! 

A Masked Love

Act 1, Scene 5

What do I do with an enemy that I love? He's more than an enemy, he is a Montague! He is my sworn rival, and yet my sworn lover as well. I fell in love with Romeo Montague last night, to say the least. My father would have him killed if he knew. If the Montagues had just stayed away from our party, none of this would have happened. But that is a horrible solution, because then I would not know this feeling of love. I would not know that Paris is not the one for me. I heard a rumor that Romeo crashed the party to attempt courtship with that nun, Rosaline. She doesn't talk much, so I don't know if she loves him back, but Romeo loves me now. Therefore Rosaline is beside the point. I'm in love! When my eyes met Romeo's, I knew at once. Now I will never marry Paris. What a fool I was to think I could make myself fall in love with someone. But what was I to tell my mother? I could never go against her wishes. No, there must be another way. I am to marry Romeo. He is so kind and has such delightful looks. He is so witty with his word play that he lured me into a kiss! And to tell the truth, I liked it to so much that I initiated another one! I love him so much, but what am i to do?!

Ready For Marriage?

Act 1, Scene 3

Oh my goodness! What a whirlwind of a day! Who would have thought when I rose this morning that at the end of the day I would know whom I was to marry? My apologies, I'm sure that just dropped quite a bomb. This afternoon, my mother summoned me to speak of marriage! She told me that Paris was kin to the prince, and I know he would be an excellent suitor, but I'm still not sure. Actually, to be honest, I'm indifferent to the situation. I certainly don't love Paris, because I haven't even met him! But that doesn't mean I couldn't learn to love him. I wasn't about to discuss all of this with my mother, so I basically agreed. But that's not to say I'm not without my doubts. Nurse seemed to think that he lacked personality, not that her opinion matters much. My father thinks that I should not be married at such a young age, and I can't say I disagree. I'm only 13, but my mother was married at my age, so maybe my father is wrong. Honestly, I would have liked to at least lay eyes on Paris before I agreed to marry him, but what’s done is done.
