Act 5 Scene 1

Juliet’s Diary – Entry 9

Dear Diary,

            Being in the dark for two days is exceedingly difficult, especially when I have so many things to worry about. There is no light that can let me know what time it is. Is it the first day? Or the second? How much longer will I have to appear to be in the comatose state until I see my dear Romeo? Where is my body right now? Most likely in the Capulet vault. If Tybalt’s ghost appears amongst this sleep-induced darkness, I might lose it.

            I mustn’t lose faith in Friar Lawrence. He agreed to meet me once I woke up, he wouldn’t let me spend a second in this death ridden vault alone. I don’t know how I can convey my gratitude for him and all that he’s done for me. And better yet, I’ll see Romeo. All the darkness that engulfs me now will be erased in the past.

Juliet
