Act 5 Scene 3

Romeo’s Diary – Entry 10

Dear Diary,

            When I arrived at the vault, there were two ominous men that seemed to be criminals. It seemed they thought the same of me too, because one of them had accused me of taking revenge on the dead bodies of the Capulet families because I am a Montague. I brawled with him, my desperation clouding my judgement. I absent mindedly stabbed the man who was unlucky enough to get in my way of pursuing my mission. Once I revealed his face, it was the Count Paris, and his last request was to lay him next to Juliet. That was when I realized that were similar. We both loved Juliet, and we were both unlucky.

            Juliet’s face was so beautiful, that even in death her cheeks were flushed, and her lips were pink. I cursed the tomb that greedily swallowed her and brought the vial of poison to my lips. Earlier I said that I defied fate by going back to Verona, but I was wrong. I am walking right into the path that was laid out for me this whole time.

Romeo
