Act 3, Scene 1

Dear Diary,



Oh, Romeo. My dearest Romeo! Why, why did you kill him, why? Today, i heard the most horrible news! My beloved cousin, Tybalt, was killed! My mother was so terribly sad! Then, i found out that Romeo was the one who killed Tybalt! Why must he make me fall in love with him and then make it so hard to love him. Well, it may seem as if it would be hard to love him. I am supposed to despise the enemy who killed my own blood, aren't I? Well, I do not. I know Romeo and he must have had some reason to kill Tybalt. Tybalt has been know to be somewhat of a hot head. Now, do not think that I am not completely horrified by what Romeo did, but we cannot blame the whole entire thing on him, can we? Oh, my sweet Romeo is now banished! If he comes back, he will be killed. I have no idea what i can do. As much as I want to see Romeo, I most certainly do not want him to have to sneak into Verona to see me! My husband must not have to do such a thing! But, maybe it is not such a bad idea after all. I mean, think about it. If Romeo gets caught, he will be put to death and since i cannot live without him, i will be compelled to kill myself! Maybe it is best if we can stay together forever in heaven, or maybe even hell after the fact that I married him without the consent of everyone else! Oh, I am so helpless. No one can commiserate with me and I am at a complete loss. I could always just run away and be with Romeo forever. But, would that not be betraying my family? It is such a hard decision! I feel as if I am writing in my journal to find the answer, but it is not helping. I am still completely astonished from what happened and maybe I just need to sleep on it. The true answer will come from my heart and will bear to be the greatest answer of all. Oh, the world is going to end if I cannot figure out how to solve my own problems! My life is almost over! Thank god Romeo is with me, because without him, I do not even see the point of living anymore.
