A terrible death

Act 3 Scene 1 & 2 & 3

Oh sad news. Terrible news. Today dear Tybalt, my very best of friends, died in a quarrel with a Capulet today in the streets. And which Capulet may you ask? ROMEO himself, it seems. Of all people. Juliet is not containing her emotions and you can just see this confusion and grief all over her face. Poor girl! Lady Montague has absolutely lost it and demands that Romeo die immediately in return of killing her family member. Instead, the prince decided that Romeo simply be banished from Verona and to leave at once. Little does the Prince (or anyone really) know that Romeo is just recently wed to my very own Juliet and that his banishment from Verona means that exact same as being dead to him and to Juliet. Personally, I believe that this is rather selfish thinking and that he should be actually GRATEFUL that he is not dead, but it is not a matter that concerns me. I only want for there to be peace and happiness between the two families and for my little Juliet. And now it seems that all Hell has broke loose and there is no turning back. Lady Montague wants revenge, but the two enemy houses are now secretly intertwined without them even knowing! And Juliet begs to not be forced to marry the old Paris, but her father insists and tells her to stop whining. He could easily disown her and I think the girl should watch her mouth! Besides, Paris is a suitable match and both families would be much happier with this. I think that Juliet marrying Paris would be for the best and I think that maybe Juliet would grieve less and see that she could be happy without Romeo. But the boy is so torn apart... you could see (when I visited the Lawrence's cell) that he was extremely upset with the whole matter. This all has happened so quickly and in such little time. Oh, what to do, what to do.
