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?!
