To My Friend Mercutio,
Please forgive me for killing you, it was not something I enjoyed. No, I rather
think you didn't either. I truly did not intend for that to happen. Trust me, if I had my
way everyone would have lived. If you wish to lay blame put the weight on William
Shakespeare. He was, technically, the one who killed you, not I. If it were not for his sad,
and rather corny, plays you would still be alive. Why is it that great writers insist on
writers about people dying? I mean there was Shakespeare, and then there was Edgar
Allen Poe, boy did that guy have some problems.
Well, I am getting away from the subject at hand. As I said before I am so sorry for killing
you. If it is of any consolation I was killed right after you were. Doesn't help much does
it? No I didn't think so. Hey, I was just wondering, but because I am giving you this
sincere note of apology would you be so kind as to remove the curse that you put on our
houses? Just a suggestion, I mean we had Romeo and Juliet kill themselves so I think it
safe to say t hat your little curse there is real. Do you really want the family of your best
friend to suffer like that? I am sure you would say yes if I asked you that about my family,
so I would save you the trouble.
I am sorry you do not like me, we could have been great friends, if not for our names.
As Juliet says in her famous balcony scene 'What is in a name. For a rose with any other
name would smell as sweet'. Now do not take that the wrong way, I do not in any
circumstance consider you a rose. The saying fits my point though.
Well, once again I am sorry I killed you. Please do not blame me. Perhaps next time the
play is performed we shall be friends instead of enemies. It would save both of our lives, I
think we have died often enough in this one lifetime. I must be going now. My best
wishes for when you return. See you at the next performance.
Sincerely,
Tybalt
