The growing worries of Juliet

Dear Diary:


What a catastrophe! Am I wrong to think that this is all a dream? I dearly wish I could wake up now, because my situation now is a glorious nightmare.
Romeo has been exiled for killing my cousin Tybalt. I know Romeo didn't mean to kill him! I just know it! It was self defence, there is no other explanation for this matter.
Now, my parents have chosen a husband for me. His name is Paris, a kinsman of Prince Escalus. I understand what my parents are trying to do here. They want me to marry him so that the Capulets will have a boost in noble family against the Montagues, and in addition there is a sizeable money boost as well.


The problem with that is that I don't like him! It's Romeo whom I adore! They cannot force me to marry against my own will! My parents have cared for me selflessly for 14 years, and I would gladly exchange it all for this selfish act!


I have spoken to Friar Lawrence about the matter. He has agreed to devise a plan and here's how it goes. I will drink the vial given to him on Wednesday night, when I am in my chamber. The cordial will help me to fake my own death, and so the next day they will take my 'corpse' to the Capulet vault after they find out I'm 'dead'. Romeo will know of this plan by letters, and after the cordial wears off, he will bring me to Mantua and we shall live blissfully in exile.


I wait in growing anticipation (and a little bit anxiously) of my untimely 'death' and of my happy future with Romeo in Mantua.

Juliet diary

dear diary,
the potion that friar Lawrence gave me should I drink it or should i just throw it away? What will happen If friar lawrence is wrong.How about if something goes wrong! What will happen if my parents find out or if Romeo doesn't receive the letter or verse if the potion doesn't work I will die. If my parents find out i'm surely dead.

I cannot bare that if I die i will be leaving my beloved Romeo and going somewhere else far away. I cannot decide anything because of the floods I'm making with my tears. Couldn't I just run off with him and never meet my parents it will be able to live like a normal person.

What do you think I should do?

Juliet's Fear

After Friar Lawrence has told me to do, I feel a lot more confident that I will soon be able to see Romeo and not marry Paris. However I have questioned myself that, what if the potion will not work? and what if the plan goes to a complete disaster? therefore, I will pray that the night I drink this potion all of my fears will go away also that the Friar's plan will work, therefore I can escape from this terrible nightmare.

Juliets Diary Entry by lottie

Dear diary,
I have a plan. A plan that i thought would work. Now, Im not so sure. The Friar has told me that in order not to Paris, I must drink poison that will appear to make me look DEAD, but will not actually kill me. What if the poison actually kills me? Or what if they find out its all an act? What if my blood doesnt run cold? or turn Blue?

What Then? Should i drink it, should i not?
To choose between living but marrying paris and romeo, or to either live or live but still only belong to Romeo?....

I dont care what happens, i will be with Romeo and NO ONE ELSE.



So here it goes...

Juliet's Fears

I'm consumed by these flooding fears; these fears that I should not believe, yet I so pessimistically acknowledge. What will become of me if the potion fails? A marriage to Paris? I'd forbid such a heartless decision with my life.

I doubt Friar Lawrence to this extent, yet here I am, entrusting my future to this man. Is he truly the saviour Romeo and I should believe in? A saint of peace and harmony? The deep liquid in this vial, could it be poison? Have I angered him with this reckless plead?

But even so, Romeo may not come. Oh, I shiver in the thought. I fear that when I open my eyes, I would look to an empty ceiling; ridden of hope, I'd lie in the burial of the deceased. Next to dear Tybalt, breathing in cold air, being unable to move, to cry, shout or scream. Will I be heard? My calls for salvation, my plead for hope? Would I slowly breathe out life, my heart and mind long dead before my body?

Enough! These sickening thoughts and assumptions do not make a difference. I will trust, believe and put my faith onto Romeo; he will come for me. All I need is courage.

Juliets Fear

After the day Friar told me the plan, I couldnt jump right onto that idea. I have many reasons to make me feel uncomfortable with plan. My biggest fear is what if the potion did not have the exact symptoms as Friar thought it will give me? Maybe I can actually die with this. After all, it is poison. But Even though the fake death potion does work, what if i screwed up the timing and wake up before Romeo comes. There is a possibility I can die in that vault. I would rather kill myself than marrying to Paris. But This cannot be the time to worry, I must do this in order to see Romeo again

Juliet's Fear

Friar Lawrence gave me a little bit of potion. But I'm afraid about everything.

What if the potion doesn't work? Then, should I marry Paris?

No, I'd rather die than marry Paris.

What if Friar Lawrence gave me a poison to keep Romeo apart from me? I hope not, because he is a holy man. A holy man shouldn't do that.

I'm afraid if Romeo isn't at the Capulet Vault when I wake up.

I'm afraid if I can't wake up from the deep sleep so I can't meet Romeo again.

Romeo, I'm trying my best. So please prey for me. I need your help.

I need you. I hope that you'll be there after I woke up.

Let's go far away and live happily forever. I hope that this will be the last tragedy about us.

I'll be waiting for you. I love you Romeo. Now, I'm going to fall in a deep deep sleep. Bye-

The Friar's Speech

Dear Diary,

The Friar talked to me today about his plan to keep me and Romeo together happily. He will give me a potion that will make me look dead, my family will put me in the Capulet crypt, and Romeo will come fetch me and will will run away. I was very happy when I heard about the Friar's witty plan, but I will be devastated, leaving my parents at such a young age. Oh well, at least I don't have to marry Paris, a man who is around 2 decades older than me!

Wish me luck on escaping,

Juliet Capulet

Juliet's Fears

I am so afraid that the mixture that the Friar Lawrence gave me will not work. There are so many different ways that it could go wrong. What if it dosen't work at all? Then what will I do? I would rather kill myself than be married to that disgusting Count Paris! Or what if the potion is a poison , and it will kill me? Romeo trusts the Friar, but he could have made a mistake, and anything can happen? Or maybe Friar Lawrence feels he has broken the law, by marrying me twice, and now must kill me? Or if I wake up in the Capulet vault, and my Romeo is not there yet? I will be surrounded by the dead, unable to breath, and close to my dear Tybalt, who will return because I married Romeo. What will I do, if I am trapped, and no one hears me. Or if the potion acts for too long, or if Romeo dosen't come? I must stop thinking these now, and summon the courage to do what I have to do, to be with my Romeo.
