Friar Laurence

Write a journal from the perspective of Romeo, Juliet, Friar Laurence or Nurse. It should take place after the end of Act II when Romeo and Juliet have been secretly married. Remember, you ARE this person writing what they would be thinking and feeling at this time.

Well today was one of the oddest days of this week. Romeo, the Montague's only son, came to me and asked me if I would marry him and Juliet, the Capulet's only daughter. When he first asked me I scolded him for falling in love with another woman so quickly. I told him it was not wise, and that he was only falling in love with the girls because of their beauty. Though I think it all went over his head. I don't think he really understands what danger he is putting himself in.

He did seem so in love when he came to me. I finally told him I would preform the ceremony for the two lovers. I agreed upon the hope that them getting married might lead to the end of this dreadful fight between their two families. I hope it will work as I have hoped so the town may be a peaceful place again.

I am going to marry them tonight in secret and then i am not sure how or when they are going to tell their parents. hopefully it won't cause a terrible fight to break out. Oh I think I see Romeo coming down the road, and what a big smile has he on his face, guess I better go and get it over with. I will write again once is said and done.
