The Diary of Juliet Capulet

by PeaceLoveandPoetry

This chronicles all the events that affected Juliet in the play, from her point of view. I attempted to use the Shakespearean English style, but it is still very understandable. The PG rating is simply for the overall theme of the play; love, death, etc.

::Disclaimer::

No, I am not the great William Shakespeare. If you thought I was, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Therefore, I do not possess ownership of Romeo and Juliet, nor the characters therein.

This first chapter is rather short, but it gets MUCH better in later chapters.

Act I, Scene i

Dear Diary,

Today in Verona, whilst I was at home, (as usual) a battle broke out between servants of my household and servants from the household of the Montagues. Several men were killed, and I am sure that more would have been had not the prince intervened. The prince has now declared that "If we disturb the streets again, our lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace." A noble attempt indeed, but I assure you, with no doubt in my mind, that the quarrel shall continue. I must admit that I have yet to meet anyone of the house of Montague. (It hath been my good fortune to be it so.) But I am sure, from the many stories I have heard from the members of my household, that they are vile creatures, whose feet do not deservedly walk the streets of fair Verona. Why, had not the beef-brained curs begun that brawl in the streets today, my family would not have been threatened death by the prince of Verona!
