Act 2 Scene 2

Romeo’s Diary – Entry 3

Dear Diary,

            I was walking with Mercutio and Benvolio while we passed by the Capulet house, where Juliet lived, and where she probably was right now. I was overcome with the need to see her again, so I hopped the garden wall. I could hear Mercutio calling my name and making fun of me. They just don’t know better.

            I saw Juliet nonchalantly resting her chin on the railing of her balcony that was rested a couple of meters above me. I spoke to her about how much I hated my name because the feuds of our families prevent us from being with each other as much as we’d like. She agreed, and we both confessed our love for each other.

Romeo
