Juliet's Diary From William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet 6th April I cannot believe my mother. Nurse raises me and mothers me and is with me all the day but mother still thinks she can turn up and order me about. If she wants me to marry, then it is a honour I dream not of. Nurse understands, why can't mother be more like her? Apparently the 'valiant Paris' seeks me for his love. I'll look to like, if looking liking move, but I will look no deeper than madam's consent gives me strength. The more she pushes me, the more I will resist. I'm not a little girl anymore. 8th April It is the night of Father's ball… A huge thing in our house. Thankfully it is over now. Although not all events were as dismal as the ball. I was standing by the door, as far away from my family as possible, when a young man caught my eye. He was fair and very handsome and I could not break eye contact. It was as though he had cast a spell on me, I was in a trace. No-one else in the room seemed to making any noise, it was just me and him. This wonderful dark stranger gazing at me gave me an odd feeling. I do not think it was love, but I cannot be sure. I had never felt this way before, especially towards a complete stranger. I saw him making his way over to me and I felt my heart begin to race. When he spoke, he had a calm, soothing voice and he spoke so sweetly. I felt myself bushing as he referred my hand to a holy shrine! I have never been spoken to in that way before. It was… I do not know how to describe it, beautiful I suppose. He was acting a bit forward so I decided to play him along slightly. He wished to kiss me so I told... ... middle of paper ... ... then had the nerve to say he wanted th' exchange of my love's faithful vow. I gave him mine before he didst request it! O my bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep. I asked him to send me word tomorrow about our marriage. By the hour of nine I shall send to him and I will not fail; 'tis twenty years till then. Parting was such sweet sorrow and I cannot wait until morning. 9th April It is my wedding day! We actually did it. I cannot see my love until this evening now but it will be worth the wait. I wonder what will happen when word gets out. I suppose I am quite nervous about the reactions of my parents and I almost feel guilty. But then I think of my sweet Romeo and all those feelings go. We did not think of the consequences before we went ahead with it. I expect now is the time to consider them.
7. Only to be generous and give it to you once more. I wish I had the for something that I have My generosity to you is limitless as the sea, and my love is as deep The more love I give you, the more I have. Both loves are infinite. I hear some noise within. Dear love,
Romeo and Juliet are committed to their love. There so committed that they got married the very next day they first met. The second time they met was on Juliet’s balcony by accident, because Romeo didn’t want to go home and he wanted to see Juliet again. They were talking for a few minutes and kissed each other many times, and Juliet said to Romeo, “If that thy bent of love be honorable, Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow”(Act two, Scene two). Juliet tells Romeo if you you love me so much, the marry me tomorrow. Romeo without hesitation, agreed to marry Juliet the next day at the Church. Romeo and Juliet decide to marry at 9 o'clock in the morning. Later on, Romeo asks Faire ( a priest) to allow him and Juliet to marry. At
I had a visit from Paris today, asking me to marry him and Juliet! She
In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Juliet's relationship with her parents, Lord and Lady Capulet, is complex. At the beginning of the play, Lord Capulet has a positive and loving attitude towards Juliet, as shown in Act 1 scene 2 when he agrees to County Paris's proposal to marry Juliet but emphasizes that Juliet's decision is equally important. However, Lady Capulet remains distant and careless towards Juliet. Later on, both parents become bad-mannered and threatening towards Juliet, pressuring her to marry County Paris. Lady Capulet even insults Juliet, wishing her to marry her 'grave'.
Juliet, one of the main characters in Shakespeare's play. She is still a young girl introduced in the play, not yet fourteen. Juliet at this young age goes through a tragic love story. Even though it seems like Juliet is intelligent, and could be responsible, she actually proves to be an immature young lady, who makes irresponsible decisions.
Tonight I met him. He was so beautiful! He even has a name that would roll of one’s tongue….Romeo. How wonderful of a sound that brings to my ears. I wish, I hope, in fact, I know that he is my lord. The one and only lord that I want to have for my entire life. And, can you believe how amazing he is? Do you know what he did after the party tonight? He crept back onto the grounds of my father’s house and climbed up the side of the balcony to catch a glimpse of me. Oh, can you believe that!
I can see the moon from here. She just came up over that building.(...) I’ve always loved the moon. I’ll even go out looking for her when she is not in sight. We read Romeo and Juliet in school last year and I was surprised and kind of mad when Juliet called the moon unreliable- “inconstant” she called it. I tried to start a discussion about it in class, but it didn’t really go over. Juliet seemed to be saying that since the moon was never in the same place from one night to the next that it was “inconstant”. I think she just liked to hear the sound of her own voice.
My poster represents the struggle Juliet experiences. I drew Juliet in this state because through most of the story, Juliet was upset because of many tragic events that occurred. Most of her whining was over Romeo. Specifically, the quote represents her lost love with him when he made too many hasty decisions. His decisions were the main reason why they died and Juliet has a difficult time recovering from his choices. This quote reflects her thoughts towards the beginning of the play about Romeo and that she should not rush into love with him so quickly. But she did and when everything goes wrong she probably feels regret. I also decided to draw her because as a teenage girl, I can somehow understand her predicament and I regret some
Act 4, Scene 5 Nurse: Mistress! Hey, my mistress! Juliet. I bet she’s fast asleep. Hey, a squid of lamb!
Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines love as a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties. Love is a journey that begins by building a foundation of trust, commitment, and understanding. The speaker is thorough and demanding to the point that the speaker becomes a façade to keep prospective loves away. Without love as the speaker begins to say life becomes pointless.

Romeo & Juliet, is a universally loved, for its rich characters, heart pumping drama and probably the most soul destroying storyline. All articulated perfectly by the brilliant, William Shakespeare.

No day shall I dare to look upon with boredom or disappointment. In this journey and adventure of us, there will always be more time to spend together, more memories to create, more tears to share, more laughs to have, more to know about each other, more days to fall in love deeper, but certainly more of me to give you. I hope you know that I’m trusting God wholeheartedly to bring you to me in His time. I lost myself when I found Him. He'll be above you & I will be below Him.
In William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet play, the character that I took interest in and thought that helped with unfolding the plot the most would be Juliet. Juliet played a very big role because she was the star crossed lover of Romeo Montague. In my slide, I pulled out a few quotes that I found that focused on Juliet’s personality. Juliet provides a pure and beautiful personality. Romeo says “It is the east, and Juliet is the sun” (2.2.3) while she enters the balcony for their kissing scene. To interpret this, it meant as a comparison, as Romeo expresses Juliet’s beauty and radiant glow. Romeo falls in love with Juliet at first sight and he truly shows compassion for her. To symbolize her beauty and glow, I chose to put a picture of a sun.
